A cheap-looking, one-joke movie that can't get any laughs even in its first telling.
May 25, 2004
A promising premise without a successful follow-through...vacillates between preachy tract and bland comedy.
May 18, 2004
The film suffers from low-budget-and-looks-it production values and some ridiculous aspects of the plot, even for a fantasy like this.

'Tiene la honestidad de ser una divertida y, por momentos compleja, denuncia de los maltratos y desprecio a los que son sometidos nuestros compatriotas en el extranjero'

By the film's end, we're more beleaguered than enlightened.

Feels scattered, and inept, and takes a golden opportunity slamming it into the floor.

The tone is often that of a preachy after-school special, down to the instructional messages that regularly flash across the screen.

The movie in its extended version is frequently muddled, emotionally messy, a little heavy-handed and misses the real opportunity presented by the new format.

For the first hour director Arau ... and his co-writer and wife, actress Arizmendi, negotiate the story's tricky mix of comedy, social satire and science fiction with surprising aplomb.
August 27, 2004
Charming if amateurish farce of a movie.
June 03, 2004
Arau has expanded his satirical short from 1998 into one joke that he solemnly beats to death for 100 minutes.

As many times you consider A Day Without a Mexican a crude and underdeveloped parody, there are moments that it vindicates itself with on-the-money situations.
