Puerto Ricans in Paris is a 2015 American comedy film
directed by Ian Edelman and written by Neel Shah and Ian Edelman.
Luis and Eddie are police detectives and long-time partners.
Eddie is married to Luis's sister Gloria and struggles to support their family.
He yearns to give Gloria a better life. Meanwhile, Luis has been with his
girlfriend Vanessa for a long time, but constantly flirts with other women.
One day the two are visited by famous Parisian fashion
designer Colette and Vincent, one of her executives. One of Colette’s purse
designs has been stolen and held for a high ransom. She believes the French
police won’t act in time to recover it, so she has traveled to New York City to
hire NYPD detectives, whom she feels would do better. The two Puerto Rican
detectives go to Paris to find the prototype for the designs.
The title accurately describes the culture-clash shenanigans
in this lackluster low-budget comedy, full of cliched postcard pretty backdrops and berets.
I recognize that fat guy he is Pachanga...also he was Epstein on Welcome Back Kotter in the late 70's and early 80's. Great TV back then kids.
