Chasing Papi (2003)

Nowadays one is used to being presented with movies intended for black audiences, but latina-focused films are less in evidence.  However this is one of them -- a rather stupid story about an advertising executive with girlfriends in three different cities and an inability to commit to any one of them.  When they all descend on his Los Angeles home and discover the others we are meant to be presented with an amusing concept.  Unfortunately the film is a totally laugh-free zone until the very last shot which is of two dogs (the four-legged variety).  The women by the way are empowered by their experiences and all dump him.  However there is a tasty latina FBI agent on hand to fill the gap.
