Rating: Summary: real people and beautiful shots of Mexico Review: This movie has a natural exuberance distinctly not the result of big stars or fast-action or urban glam. Two other things I liked about this movie:the characters are real people, not fantasy Hollywood people. Its refreshing to see a movie in which the actors are not big professionals with big Hollywood personas. They do a better job of acting real ordinary people with ordinary and flawed personalities like the rest of us. I also liked it because the occasional interspersing of nature shots, mexican wildlife, gila monsters, lizards was so interesting and tastefully done. The music was also first class and matched the story and pace perfectly.
Rating: Summary: real people and beautiful shots of Mexico Review: This movie is filled with honesty and magic. Every character is authentic and immediately the viewer is drawn into their story. The story is sensitively and artfully told by the director Mick Diener. This is one those rare movies that shows the trials of the human existence, but then renews are faith in the human spirit.

Rating: Summary: A Mexico Dream! Review: Very few films ever seem to capture the small details that make rustic Mexican life by the sea so enchanting. This little movie, with its offbeat characters, intriguing storylines, and charming eye on the beauty and texture of the landscape, succeeds. If you want a big budget hollywood film with Julia Roberts or Brad Pitt, you won't find it here, but if you appreciate smaller independent films that aren't afraid to be intimate and quirky, you'll be pleasantly surprised by this film. The story of the spiritual seeker is especially funny -- and the music is lovely and rich. My wife and I loved it!
Rating: Summary: The Film Makers should have asked, Which Way! Review: We all have a certain amount of hours to live from birth to the grave. Don't waste a second your life, or your money buying this boring film, it's a load of cods-wallop!. The settings may be pretty to look at, but all the characters are so dysfunctional, that they become irritating to watch. If they could act it may have been somewhat tolerable. Unacceptable language (and there's plenty of that) is no excuse for a lack of knowledge of the English language. The camerawork and storyline is definitely first month Film School, which begs one to suggest that the production team should have asked "Which Way, Por Favor?" before they started on their journey into filmmaking. They certainly got lost on the way. I give this film one star, only because the transfer to DVD is acceptable in both picture and sound.
Rating: Summary: Fun in the Sun - Mexico Style! Review: What a charming little movie! If you love Mexico, especially those isolated little beaches where the locals welcome travelers with a smile, this is a film for you. Interesting characters and story with twists, gorgeous scenery, and a pleasing dose of off-beat humor captures the essence of alternative travel experiences. The Director's Audio Commentary is heart-felt and informative and gives us insights into the Deleted Scenes as well. Recommended.
