Synopsis

In the Dominican Republic, Genaro works in a small family store and lives with his mother in a poor neighborhood. She is learning a few words in English and dreams of being a Sanky Panky to marry an American tourist to move to the USA with a VISA and have a better life. He calls his friend Giuseppe, who is a hotel manager in Bávaro, and applies for a job entertaining children but hoping to find a wealthy tourist. Genaro meets the beautiful Martha, who has come with her aunts Dorothy and Helen, to forget her fiancée after calling off her wedding. Genaro calls his best friends, Chelo and Carlitos, to go out with the aunts and experience it alone with Martha. Martha only speaks English and Genaro only knows a few words of English, but everything goes as planned until Martha's boyfriend arrives at the resort and complicates everything.

ChikPapa Very disappointed :(
SpuffyWeb Sadly Over-hyped
Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
MonsterPerfect Good idea lost in the noise
tureyna4danight "Sanky Panky" only revolves around how ignorant and stupid a group of persons can be. The lack of love that Dominicans have for their own country seems to go way beyond daily life. The main character of this movie is a low class average Dominican guy that assumes that USA is heaven and once he gets there his life will be solved. Since we already know that he has a total lack of common sense he plans using an American girl as "THE VISA" for his dream. The American girl turns out to be a sexual nymphomaniac and the Dominican guy a male prostitute, that is prostituting himself just for a visa. This movie can be easily compared to a reggaeton video but with a lower class (yes it can be something lower than those videos). The language and culture that are projected in this movie are the ones you see in the dirtiest places of the DR. Not to mention how disturbing to the eyes the actors are. Instead of making us laugh this "movie" makes us wanna puke and then cry, seriously this should be considered an offense to human dignity and be banned.If you really want to see the dark/idiotic/ignorant/degrading side of DR then this is the right movie for you.
dulzemorena This is one of the funniest movies I have seen in my life. Genaro is a poor but hard working man that dreams of coming to the USA in search of a better life. He learns some English words and temporarily works at Bavaro resorts in hopes of marrying a old white lady to bring him to the USA.His personal journey to obtain a USA visa is selfish because he tries to use Martha but noble because who wants to be poor for the rest of their life. You get to discover the "real" Dominican Republic as three childhood friends wine, dine and mingle with three female American tourists.The bootleg version of this movie is HOT so I can't wait to buy the official DVD.
mayimbamusic Sanky Panky is an almost perfect film. The images are incredible and are in themselves the perfect advertisement for the Dominican Ministry of Tourism. The soundtrack is excellent and contains music from nearly every Hispanic genre, including some excellent "Perico Rip'ao" and music by the hit band Aventura.The performances by Fausto Mata (Boca'e Piano) and Tony Pascual (Pachuli) are off the charts. These two seasoned comedians do not miss a beat; their maturity and obvious chemistry keep their energy at a boiling point throughout the film - never a corny second. However, behind the humor, and some of the funniest and most clever lines I have ever heard, is a stark reality - this is that in the Caribbean as in many other world spots, normal people must go to extreme measures to improve their lives.The weak point is reflected in the some of the casting and parts of the script in the "gringa" part of the film. It is passable though as comedic license allows it to slip through. I love the film and expect it to become a star throughout the Hispanic world.
