Summary: Quite funny, quirky movie
Review: I think the thing is with this movie is that people want to label it as a comedy or even a romantic comedy. It's a mishmash of styles of film. I loved Brad Pitt's performance as the stumbling loser hero of the movie. Julia Roberts finally plays someone who is not very likable, an overanalyzing Oprah Winfrey-watching fruitcake of a woman and of course James Gandolfini as the gay hitman. I liked the way this movie changed around every corner and was a sucession of good and bad luck. It is not a masterpiece in any way, but it is sure to put a smile on your face.

Review: Couldn't punish myself any longer so I had to turn it off . Spoke to some other friends that were able to finish it and there comment was that they were waiting for the movie to take off and of course it never did .

Summary: What's not to like?
Review: I cannot even begin to understand what people do not like about this film. Is it an epic? nah. It is funny? you bet it's funny. Maybe that's why so many people here have panned it. A lack of a sense of humor in the subtleties of humor. There is a lot of wry wit in this, with some fun characters, parodies of life, personal development stories, etc etc. In all, a broad stroke of paint on the canvas of life's problems and challenges. This will not go down as one of the most memorable of roles for either Brad Pitt of Julia Roberts, but must EVERY movie be judged by a performers' prior best works? Can't we just sit back and enjoy something for the fun of it? Too many of the reviews here seem tooooo overburdened by what the reviwer almost wishes what this movie could have been, instead of what it is -- a wry, subtle, humourous road/love epic. And enjoyable at that!

Summary: Very funny
Review: I have heard a lot of people complain that there is no interaction between Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt but if you over look that it is still a very good film. The interaction between Roberts and James Gandolfini is really what makes the film interesting. Pitt is also very good even though he is rarely in a scene with Roberts. A very funny film and if you like either of these actors their performances are excellent. Do not over look this film because it did not live up to some peoples unfounded expectations.

Summary: Not much ....
Review: Unless you really do not have any thing else to watch at night, then have a go... but you can certainly speed-forward the video for some part. The scenario was basically made around a couple of famous actor, but the story is really nothing to be doing kart-wheels about! I do not recommend this movie even though the main actors are nice to watch. Julia Roberts always has a great laugh and smile....

Summary: the characters made it enjoyable
Review: It was the characters of this movie that made it for me. The movie had a personality. Brad Pitt's character somehow got thrown into quite a mess, and has to deal with it. It involves a higher power than he can comprehend, and he manages to get screwed over a few too many times. Julia Roberts is hilarious as his overreacting girlfriend. The hitman was a deep and interesting character. I was cheering for all three of them. I was drawn in by the fact that you never knew what was going to happen next, and you don't know if it's going to end happily or not. The thing about this film is that it's a mix of several genres: action, drama, comedy, and romance. None of these elements are out of place, however. There are witty jewels of comedy placed randomly throughout the film. When important events occur, you feel something because you have been drawn into the characters. The action is mostly implied and not really gory. The movie doesn't get a full five stars because it didn't give me the "wow, that was clever" feeling at the end, but i did enjoy watching it a lot. Watch it for the people, not the plot.

Summary: THE MEXICAN is gratifyingly uplifting
Review: For those who anticipated the two mega stalwarts Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts to dazzle with a modern day romance, THE MEXICAN comes as an awkward surprise. That's not to say the oddball romance is without its merits - in fact the quirkiness and unpredictible goofy plot manages to enhance the characters, each with their own encounters and reunites for a twist in the plot towards the end. Director Gore Verbinski (Mousehunt) is courageous in choosing this plot - and the co-stars has never been more compatible. Though Pitt and Roberts do not share much screen time together, it's a journey they seemed to enjoy. Pitts plays Jerry who is on his last "delivery" trip for the mafia - and little does he know about the pistol he is handling is much sought after. It leads to mayhem and even drags Sam (Roberts) to be kidnapped by Winston. There is humour along the way as each character apprehends their fate - Roberts gets to confirm her love for Jerry and befriends an affectionate Winston for a killer. It is unpredictibly exhilarating as each character faces tacky yet hilarious situations - and the ending glosses the uneven setting and plot with Gene Hackman making a cameo appearance. THE MEXICAN may not be your typical romance, yet the fun that Roberts and Pitts share is so infectious and bubbly that you shouldn't have any misgivings. The middle part of the movie sags a little but the ultimate piece of work is gratifyingly uplifting. It is though - a movie that you either like it or hate it to the core - ambivalence gives THE MEXICAN a 3.5 stars rating.

Summary: A Great Movie!!
Review: When I first heard about this movie, I thought that it sounded really stupid. Boy, was I EVER wrong!! The Mexican is a great movie full of suspense, drama, action, comedy, and even a little bit of romance! This movie takes you on a ride full of twists and turns and keeps you on the edge of your seat. And it isn't confusing either, so it's really fun to watch. The only thing that I didn't like about this movie is the fact that Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt are only together in about five of the scenes. Roberts and Pitt acted really well together, so I wish that they had been in more scenes together. But this movie is still really good and I highly reccomend it!!

Summary: A helluva disappointment!
Review: In my view, the star status of Pitt and Roberts and the magazine reviews that spoke of "A two hour adrenaline rush" were rather misleading. Were the stars using this movie as a "filler-in" between bigger projects? This is a long movie and there ain't no adrenaline, folks!
