Console best movie i've ever seen.
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
Tymon Sutton The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
Mike I don't know how many times I have seen this movie, and it's Still very entertaining for me! there is nothing like an actor growing and expanding their horizons, and showing you what they think is funny! not to mention that he brought a whole new light to things that most people don't even think about (even if it was for entertainments sake)Awesome movie when you just don't know what else to watch! its a funny feel good movie that actually makes you think and displays cheech's talent! he is no longer the burned out drug fiend with a fried brain! he is genuine and warm and does the right thing! (when it's important) I think the acting was actually pretty remarkable (even when it was meant to be goofy)
seafox-1 this movie is good as it is. but there is a longer version that fills in parts of the story that make it whole. I can't belive they put out the DVD with out the missing sceens. We Need the WHOLE movie thankyou jeffery
soranno In his first leading film role without his former comedy partner, Thomas Chong, Richard "Cheech" Marin portrays a Mexican man who is not yet an American citizen. He gets mixed up in a deportation raid and goes on a comic adventure to return to the U.S. Not as funny as the outings with Chong but still fairly amusing.
aesgaard41 I love this movie! Next to "Shrimp on the Barbie," this is my favorite Cheech Marin movie as he goes on to prove he can actually be funny by not playing a pothead. A Mexican-American dragged across the border, he shows the lengths he is willing to go to return home and prove he is an American, but there is also a sensitive and heart-warming touch to his range as he proves he is also a good guy and not just some clown. Daniel Stern is also a hoot as an opportunist, and Paul Rodriguez flexes his comedic muscle that we his fans appreciate so much.
