Summary: HEY VATO, HEY WHO YOU LOOKING FOR???
Review: The all time best hispanic comedy (in english that is) I could not recomend anything less than five stars on this one. So many little "inside jokes" for those who know anything about the mexican culture. I love this movie. My one and only complaint is that the entire version of the movie is yet to be released, even in the new DVD of 2003, the movie is incomplete. That my friends is unacceptable!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great movie if it was complete.
Review: This movie is pure fun. It's not to be taken so seriously. This is a great movie to watch alone when you really need a laugh. This movie is great to watch with my grown children because we laugh together just like we did when we watched it years ago, in our happy home when they were carefree children, before all the world crap, job closings and war hungry people trying to blow us off this earth, Aids, etc.. Maybe if I were an angry, put - up - on Latino - Black - etc., I would find some parts "not so funny"? It's refreshing to watch a movie that doesn't depend on 4 letter words, sex or racial insults to be funny. Certain movies are made to make us laugh and sometimes when we let down our guards ( racism-lonliness-fear ) and open our tight lips to laugh we "breathe." The next time you are down watch this movie or "Soapdish" or "Half-baked" - "CaveMan", "My Blue Heaven", etcc.. I am a wife, proud granny, positive Black American. Find peace and Joy - share a smile. Thanks.

Summary: Cheech at his finest!
Review: This movie starts out like most cheesy 80's movies but the movie actually ends up pretty good. Marin does an excellent job of writing and telling the true story through the eyes of Mexicans during the 1980's. The movie is very funny but at the same time tells a good message. I would recommend this movie to anybody wanting to see a movie without the usual violence and explosions, that will make you laugh and think at the same time.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: ONE OF THE FUNNIEST MOVIES IV'E EVER SEEN
Review: This movie was hillarious. I was laughing the whole way. I loved the ways he tried to get back in the U.S. They were pretty funny. I loved his jokes because they were funny to.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cheech Marin is still funny
Review: This movie was hysterical. Daniel Stern and Cheech Marin turn in two good performances. It's about Cheech Marin being mistaken for an illegal alien and getting shipped to Mexico. Most of the movie is about Cheech's character trying to get back to the USA after being deported.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good DVD, yet not a good cut
Review: This version of the film on DVD is better than the one from goodtimes productions. Yet both versions on DVDs are very edited from the original version. The film is a little longer, on scene in particular is the marriage scene at the end, how else did Rudy end up in a float at the parade, and that is just one major one. This DVD is good, but the old VHS version seems more "complete." I only wish Cheech had the support to create other such films!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Cutting Corners
Review: Universal is at it again,
Anyone who already owns the GOODTIMES DVD of this movie will clearly see the ending credits rolling at an aspect ratio of 2.35:1

The universal DVD includes both a WIDESCREEN & FULLSCREEN version of the movie,
Exept it's widescreen version is presented in 1.85:1, it's not only less wide, but it's also MATTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It would take a company like Universal to do something like that, & I want to know why,

Universal Panned & scanned it from it's original letterbox version, then re-matted it.

Universal has also done something similar to other movies, like Region 2 Back to the future, & Region one American Pie 2.
