Movie Haiku:SPLIT DECISION: Jan loves this dramedy set in Miami’s Cuban immigrant community, whereas Rich feels jerked around by shifts in tone. Wealthy landowner (Molina) is finally released after ~ 20 years in a Cuban prison. Bureaucratic mix-up keeps him “married” to Tomei, instead of reunited with beloved wife (Huston) & daughter.
