However, unbeknownst to the three mortals, the rulers of the two underworlds - the angelic, if hot-tempered, La Muerte (Kate de Castillo) and her lover, the charming scoundrel Xibalba (Ron Perlman) - have a bet running, about which of Maria's longtime friends will win her heart. Years later, the three reunite as young adults: sensitive bull-fighter Manolo (Diego Luna), whose true passion is music macho, but good-natured, soldier Joaquin (Channing Tatum), who's regarded as a hero by his hometown and intelligent, forward-thinking, Maria (Zoe Saldana), who is pursued romantically by both Manolo and Joaquin. The Book of Life takes place a long time ago in Mexico, where a trio of childhood friends are separated and each instructed on how to fulfill the expectations of their respective families. The Book of Life works as a visually dazzling celebration of Mexican culture, though its conventional kids' movie elements leave something to be desired.
