I haven't seen it, but the movie was sponsored by Jeep and had a contest associated with it.
Here's a copy of last year's press release (I hope it pastes okay):

Jeep Drives into Hispanic Market with "Chasing Papi" Marketing Campaign
-Film targets Hispanic market and has general market crossover potential
-Jeep TV spot echoes movie plot and promotes both the vehicle and the film
-Integrated marketing campaign includes Jeep "Chasing Papi Parties" that kick off April 16
Auburn Hills, Mich., Mar 24, 2003 -Jeep is launching a multifaceted six-week promotion built around gChasing Papi,h a Hispanic-themed movie opening April 16. The campaign includes a national TV spot in both English and Spanish, product integration in the movie, Jeep Chasing Papi Parties in eight major Hispanic markets, online and radio promotion, and bilingual street teams.
The 20th Century Fox-produced movie features Roselyn Sanchez, Sofia Vergara, Jaci Velasquez and Eduardo Verastegui, all well-known Hispanic entertainers, actors, or s, in a spirited romantic comedy. The plot focuses on three very different women from Chicago, Miami and New York and their love interest. When the three discover they are all in love with the same man (Verategui), they decide to teach their gthree-timingh fellow a lesson and end up on a riotous adventure along the way. The Grand Cherokee is featured in the film, which also includes a sneak peek of the new Chrysler Crossfire.
gJeep involvement in eChasing Papif allowed us to create a truly integrated marketing campaign targeted at the Hispanic-American community, the fastest growing market in the U.S. In addition to targeting a market that has tremendous growth potential for our industry, the campaign we have developed has potential to reach general market consumers as well,h said Jeff Bell, Vice President, Jeep Marketing.
In the 30-second TV spot, which is scheduled to begin airing March 24, three young, attractive women are seen leaving a movie theater where gChasing Papih is showing. Two of the women get in a Jeep Wrangler; one takes off in a Jeep Liberty. While at a stoplight, they all spot a gpapi chuloh (good-looking man) in a Jeep Grand Cherokee who they believe is the star of the movie. A chase ensues and they catch the "papi chulo," only to discover that he is not the movie character. As the voiceover says, gThe only thing that can catch a Jeep 4x4 is another Jeep 4x4,h the women leave their catch with his hands tied on the street, in front of his Jeep Grand Cherokee.
To mark the moviefs release, Jeep brand will kick off Jeep Chasing Papi parties April 16 at a nightclub in Chicago, and at clubs in New York, Miami, San Antonio, Dallas, Houston, San Francisco/San Jose and Los Angeles on April 17.
