This film is becoming a cult legend

"I'm so glad I found this movie on DVD. I saw it at the San Franciso Film Festival and thought it was amazing. I got to hear all the actors and filmmakers speak and was so impressed. This movie is what independant filmmaking is all about. They shot it on this impossibly small budget and it just turned out so cool. It actually inspired me to go down to the little Mexican village it was filmed in on vacation. Down there this film has a huge cult following. It's great. Buy it."

A Mexico Dream!

"Very few films ever seem to capture the small details that make rustic Mexican life by the sea so enchanting. This little movie, with its offbeat characters, intriguing storylines, and charming eye on the beauty and texture of the landscape, succeeds. If you want a big budget hollywood film with Julia Roberts or Brad Pitt, you won't find it here, but if you appreciate smaller independent films that aren't afraid to be intimate and quirky, you'll be pleasantly surprised by this film. The story of the spiritual seeker is especially funny -- and the music is lovely and rich. My wife and I loved it!"

Sexy, Edgy, Warm-Hearted

"This is a fun indie film that really captures the essence of those old Mexican fishing villages along the Pacific Coast. So often there's some detail or bit of local color going on in the background of the picture that's just brimming with life. And the stories and the characters are quirky and intriguing and often pretty hilarious. Then there's the music -- a very hot mix of Latin pop, Cuban-style mambos -- and even some cool old Mexican rancheras. And all of it performed by excellent musicians from groups like the Carlos Santana band."

Real people and beautiful shots of Mexico

"This movie has a natural exuberance distinctly not the result of
big stars or fast-action or urban glam. Two other things I liked about this movie:the characters are real people, not fantasy Hollywood people. Its refreshing to see a movie in which the actors are not big professionals with big Hollywood personas. They do a better job of acting real ordinary people with ordinary and flawed personalities like the rest of us. I also liked it because the occasional interspersing of nature shots, mexican wildlife, gila monsters, lizards was so interesting and
tastefully done. The music was also first class and matched the
story and pace perfectly."
