'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'
June 09, 2004
A cheap-looking, one-joke movie that can't get any laughs even in its first telling.

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

Feels scattered, and inept, and takes a golden opportunity slamming it into the floor.
May 25, 2004
A promising premise without a successful follow-through...vacillates between preachy tract and bland comedy.
September 16, 2004
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.

Arau has expanded his satirical short from 1998 into one joke that he solemnly beats to death for 100 minutes.

Charming if amateurish farce of a movie.

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.

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