Caroline A.

This movie is basically a spoof on illegal immigration and the bureaucracy associated with many of the US immigration laws. The traditional cheech and chong style satire is fully intact. Overall, a great family movie full of laughs. The only downside is that this DVD, which is the only released DVD, lacks around 20-30 minutes of footage where Cheech and his lady flee from some coyote guerilla types, which is usually shown on television. Instead, this DVD shows cheech making it across the border, then randomly popping out of a sewer, which is explained in context when combined with the missing footage.

One of the funniest movies I have ever seen. Paul Rodriquez did a fantastic job. I liked feo as well. Rent it if you like Cheech Marin movies.

This is not the whole movie. About ten minutes of footage missing from the VHS version. What about the coyotes at the end? what about the wedding?

I love everything about this film..but more so Cheech was LIGHT YEARS ahead of his time in terms of capturing the spirit of the illegal immigration issue through comedy.

Great, lighthearted movie--good for lots of laughs. Especially funny if you've ever lived in Southern California or anywhere in the Southwest U.S.
