"It is rare to find a film that defies one's expectations as sweetly and satisfyingly as Raising Victor Vargas, a coming-of-age comedy/drama from first-time feature writer/director Peter Sollett. The surprise isn't in the plot -- that would be too easy -- but, rather, in the extraordinarily subtle and convincing ways the characters grow and change before our very eyes.Sixteen-year-old Victor Vargas (Victor Rasuk -- who, like all the actors in this film, is a nonprofessional) is a skinny jive-talking kid who lives in a tiny apartment on Manhattan's Lower East Side with his younger brother Nino (Rasuk's real-life brother Silvestre), sister Vicki (Krystal Rodriguez) and Dominican-born grandmother (Altagracia Guzman), who, for reasons never specified, is raising her three grandchildren."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
