Whats Up With COCO?


First the movie never really said where she was from, what part of New York that is. It was pretty obvious that Bruno was from Queens, Ralph from the south bronx, Doris from Brooklyn and Leroy from Harlem, but what "burrough" I think its called was CoCo from?? I was thinking maybey lower Manhatten or spanish harlem perhaps, she seemed NOT to want Bruno and his Dad too see where she lived, which was odd.

Also she presented herself as very very street-smart and sassy and "nobody's fool" I just cannot believe she fell for that sleazy guy in the coffee shop, she must have seen through him, I mean a child would of, he was so sleazy and off she must of known it was shady and when she entered that apt building and he was the only one there and told her to take he clothes off she should of RAN not walked out of there, the whole movie she was so sauvy and street wise and then she acted very dimwitted, she must of been in denial hoping this guy was legit, but he was not.

Good movie through, especially the lunch room scene, that was the best I thought!

I never got Why she was ashamed in front of Bruno and his Dad.

I mean, his Dad was a Cab driver, so it aint like he would be some snob.

She really should have hauled ass out of there. The guy was a scuzzbucket.

He could have raped her but thankfully he did not.

She must've been so desperate to be "discovered" that she was willing to do it.

Marry me,Bob Gunton!

Maybe. She said that she was half Spanish.

I think that she was "Frontin'" as the hip kids say these days. She was really just very naive and immature.

She had small tits. That was the reason she was crying.

Coco had probably the ugliest tits in history. I'd be crying about them too if I was her!

Hot damn, that's messed up yo!

Stfu you dumb sexist idiots. No, she was young and dumb, and thought she had to go along with that sleazy creep in order to "make it", which she really didn't. If she'd had any self-confidence, she would have told that dude to go fck himself, and gotten the hell up out of there.
