Customer Reviews of A Day Without a Mexican

not quite good
*A Day Without a Mexican* was an attempt to show what the U.S. or rather, California would be like without Hispanics. However, the attempt was futile. <
> <
>A fog gradually surrounds the state of California, thus preventing any communication with the other states. One by one, Hispanics start to disappear until there is none left...except one, who is a reporter. There are mixed reactions to the disappearance of Hispanics. Some people "grieve" as they realize or rather, know how much Hispanics contribute to the nation's economy. Others celebrate the disappearance of Hispanics. Some gain awareness about Hispanics and their "value". <
> <
>Initially, I thought it was a wonderful concept to show just how much how certain minority contribute to society. However, some of the vignettes were corny or pointless, such as the "L-Factor". I was like, what in the world are talking about? The other was whether or not there was an significance or correlation to Hispanics and extraterrestrials being called "aliens". I realized that some of these vignettes were trying to be funny but these vignettes failed to bring humor. <
> <
>I believe that this could have been a fantastic movie that would have inspired intellectual dialogues after viewing. However, with corniness in the movie, you just could not wait for the movie to end. Ugh,...just almost a good thing....almost.

Worthwhile--YES, Slick Hollywood produciton--NO.
Watch this movie with some friends or family and have a discussion about the complex issues involved afterwards over tea or wine and chocolate. <
> <
>I rate a movie based on whether it is a worthwhile use of my precious time as well as whether it achieved "suspension of disbelief". Suspension of disbelief is when you forget you are watching a movie and get really into the story. <
> <
>A Day Without A Mexican gets 5 stars for worthwhile and 2.5 stars for suspension of disbelief. It is a low-budget first-time production but in terms of message and truth and story to be told, it is an important project. <
> <
>Citizens on all sides of the immigration issue would be well served to watch the complete movie (don't turn it off after the first 5 minutes as one closed minded reviewer did). The additional material on the DVD "behind... a day without a mexican" is key to completing the experiance. We found that material very worthwhile.

Don't waste your hard earn money
I couldn't continue after 5 minutes of this movie. It portrayed Americans as incompetents and hopeless. The message is that we will all suffered if there are no mexicans in America because we won't know what to do. This movie really sucked big time. And most of all it wasn't even funny. I can't wait till they come up with a movie titled "A day without Mexican: no more law braking illegals, no more uninsured motorists, surpluses in governmental resouces, uncrowded ER, less crime, etc.
