Love-Old-Wierd-Flicks Richard "Cheech" Marin plays Rudy, An American born Mexican-American who goes to pick his cousin up at work and ends up in an immigration raid. He doesn't have his licence on him and ends up deported to Mexico. The rest of the movie is spent showing Rudy tirelessly try to get back across the border and get home. I thought this movie was just OK, not great, and not horrible. The acting is acceptable. I especially liked Paul Rodriguez character who mostly spoke Spanish in the movie but still managed to be hysterical for those of us who don't speak Spanish. Would I watch it again or recommend you watch it? Probably not.
dchristrev I love everything about this movie, funny, touching (with the woman, her kids and the oranges) and everything else. But what I love most about this movie is Kamala Lopez. When she adjusts her dress and flips her gorgeous hair, I am left a helpless, drooling idiot. She is one of the most gorgeous women I have ever seen. It is my opinion that Latinas have the most beautiful bodies in the world. From Salma Hayek to Jennifer Lopez to Miss Nude Universe Mercedez, these Latina women are the reason why cavemen chiseled on walls (to borrow a quote from Greg Kinnear in As Good As It Gets). I love them, one and all! Anybody else out there love the Latinas? Let me hear ya say, yeah!!!
siektwo Much better than i expected. I first saw this film on one of those boring rainy days where you end up sitting in front of the TV channel surfing. i stopped while this was on. needless to say, i watched the whole thing and totally enjoyed it.it's very funny at times, and the plot is hilarious! some of the comedy is slapstick and some of it isn't...but it's all good. give it a rent and you won't be disappointed. i just picked up the DVD for 9.99 and i'm glad i did.yeahhhhhhhhhhh yeah yeah!(sorry, i need ten lines before i could post a comment)
jman72485 Great movie! I thought it was funny, Sure I wanted to seriously hurt the border patrol dude, because he was discriminating to my Raza, but over all, it was great. Cheech does such great work in trying to get back to Los A and man is that funny! This movie needs an Oscar or some sort of award!
