Hi all, i was watching tv late the other night and a film was on. I only caught some of the film and missed the title but perhaps someone can tell me the name of it from my description. [SPOILER ALERT PERHAPS…] It has a nerdy black guy who is learning spanish from a tape on a roadtrip with a french guy. the nerdy black guy is in love with an hispanic girl but is due to attend his arranged marriage in a couple of days. The hispanic girl is also on a trip travelling around with her irritating english lecturer boyfriend. Don’t know the names of any of the actors, it was made i’d say in the last 3 years by the sounds of the soundtrack, anyone know what its called??? thanks mogi ---

Did you try looking it up online via your local tv guide? ---
