¡Casa Bonita Mi Amor!
“¡Una película DOCUMENTARY espectacular!”
Casa Bonita opened in 1974 in an unassuming strip mall. The massive "Disneyland of Mexican restaurants" is an Old West and Acapulco-inspired fever dream made famous by its indoor waterfall, cliff divers, and haunted caves, and was featured in a classic 2003 episode of South Park. When its creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, learn that Casa Bonita might close its doors for good, they attempt to preserve a crumbling piece of their childhood and Denver history.
This documentary is a warm, whimsical embrace of a beloved, quirky institution. It's steeped in affectionate nostalgia and gentle humor, celebrating the unique charm of a cultural landmark and the heartfelt effort to keep its fantastical spirit alive. A truly feel-good journey.
