Absolutely Fantastic

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

So I might be the only person who thought this but this movie was the worse $20 ever spent. There is 0 character development and seems they wrote the movie as they when with boring characters that rarely say anything funny instead it relies on your cliché physical comedy. the action is just boring the characters seem like your typical "dumn males" They tried to put in some meaning into the movie but it is unclear and its just lost in the twisted story line and horrible slapstick humor. If I had to guess it might be something about the Iraqis being good guys and American soldiers being bumbling idiots? (really! the soldiers in this movie are worse than storm troopers! they don't land more then one hit on out "heroes") But with all its flaws it still managed to pull a semi happy ending where things just magically get better (spoiler) his mom is magically cured and partying it up oh and for some reason his family magically ignores the fact the main character is an efin drug lord (also main reason they where never in his life) the only reason I even gave it 3 stars is for the few times I thought damn this movie is so bad its amusing. Don't waste your money or time..

This attempted Hollywood style action movie is a shameful example of what a lack of talent can achieve. The fact that it received support from government institutions is a disgrace for Mexican cinema.While the premise is not bad, the script lacks character depth. The gags don't work and, overall, gives the idea of a lack of direction. Instead of progressing, it just keeps getting worse and worse. The situations go from unrealistic to ludicrous and, as the movie advances, it becomes more reliant on special effects which are not credible at all. As a truck advances through the sand dunes of some dessert in Asia, it looks like an old-fashion animation of it.The budget used on this film could be a lot more profitable if put in the right hands.

When I thought there were enough "narco" (drug dealers) movies, I saw the trailer of this movie... I believed there was something special in this movie, and, though I was wrong, anyway I had a funny time. This film deals with the typical Mexican stereotypes: drug trafficking, immigration,family values​​, etc. All in all,this film is a set of different hilarious gags, gags that perhaps a foreigner couldn't understand. The performances were pretty good, specially Miguel Rodarte (as Julián Pérez, the typical Mexican drug dealer), Jesus Ochoa (as Chema) and Gerardo Taracena (as Carmelo,a tomato farmer). As I said, this movie features numerous gags of physical humor, puns, and stereotypical characters. It is not a smart movie. It is not a movie with a message. It's only a funny movie for people who just wanna have a laugh. Anyway, this is one of the best Mexican films I've seen in recent years.

Spoiler free review: The film portrays some Mexican stereotypes that are usually the popular target of the news, as well as other types of folklore, in a fun way. The movie show us those so-famous-Mexican drug dealers, parodying somehow the film Saving Private Ryan; but instead, they are saving private Perez. The cultural side, the vocabulary, the customs, the music and the garments, make fun of dealers and "narcos" in Sinaloa, Mexico. The good cast of characters (which are mostly known for appearing in Mexican soap operas) assemble a good rescue team that delivers some well distributed good action and funny moments.About "values": If you are reviewing movies, don't criticize them subjectively, be objective. It's entertainment, values are learned at home.
