"I loved this movie! We watched it in my spanish class, and I had to go home and buy it. The story is wonderful, the acting is amazing, and the music is great. It takes place in mexico, and is about two fighting cousins whom take a road trip to alcapulco to fufill their recently deceasted grand fathers wishes. They enocounter many things along the way and find a common bond. I highly recomend this movie."
Reminds me of my road trip to acapulco!

"Although I don't consider this a 5 star movie and I could name several mexican films off hand that have better plots and actors; this movie is pretty fun and memorable enough to want to watch it every now and then. Two cousins that don't really get along take a road trip to acapulco to try to get their recently passed away grandfather's ashes into the ocean. They run into romance, trouble, and the movie gives a laughable surprise towards the end. Good movie,,not Oscar material but definitely a movie worthy of your dvd library and one that you will probably want to watch once in a blue moon."
Really great fun!

"I picked this up in VHS at a video store on clearance for 99 cents and figured it would be an okay piece of entertainment. Boy, was I surprised! This is an excellent bit of comedy, beautifully acted, wonderfully edited, totally enjoyable entertainment! The dysfunctional family dynamics are hysterical, the young people are attractive and funny, the plot twists are very unexpected, and it's simply beautifully done. Don't miss this one!"
Hilarious and light hearted.

"This movie made me homesick. Although not from Mexico, it reminded me alot of the times I lived there and some of the people I met. The spinning of the urn like a roulette wheel gave me a real chuckle. Also gives a view into the folks that live in Mexico City and it was nice to see Acapulco from the beach level. A good companion to Todo el Poder and El Segundo Aire."
