After smuggling a stolen multimillion-dollar shipment of Viagra into the United States from Mexico, Crazy Jose (Paul Rodriguez) is pursued by an angry New York Mafioso in this outrageous comedy from director Alex Wright. Though the big-city wise guys are determined to recover their profitable pills, their patience is soon put to the ultimate test in a series of rural mishaps. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Wackiness ensues in the Paul Rodriguez comedy The Shipment. The film is presented in a 1.33:1 full frame version that is only mediocre at best. The colors and black levels often look soft with grain and dirt popping up from time to time. While the bulk of this picture is generally clean and concise, overall this is a lackluster transfer of the film. The soundtrack is presented in what appears to be Dolby Digital 2.0 Surround in English. Much like the film's video transfer, this sound mix is serviceable, if very unimpressive. While directional effects and fidelity may be lacking, the bulk of this track is free of any excessive hiss or distortion. Also included on this disc are Spanish subtitles. The Shipment's extra features are floating at the bare minimum -- all that's been included on this disc is a theatrical trailer for the film. ~ Patrick Naugle, All Movie Guide
