Raising Victor Vargas Movie Review 2003

Fifteen-year-old Latino Victor (Rasuk) thinks he's pretty hot stuff in his Lower East Side New York neighborhood as he spends his summer vacation chasing the local hotties. His feisty old-world Grandma (Guzman), who's raising Victor and his two younger siblings, begs to differ but the kids try to keep Grandma in the dark. Then Victor meets Judy (Marte), who's too smart to fall for his lines, and Victor really gets some lessons in love.
