Featured reviews
I saw this film in Central Park! Last Summer. I have to say I loved it!! It's smart, witty and fun. The opinions of the people in it reveal a lot about both Mexican and American cultures. Sad and harsh at times but with a hopeful message at the end, this movie is a warning on how our money driven society it's bound to fail. I guess some of the people in this forum didn't understand it... They saw themselves reflected maybe? or maybe the structure was too sophisticated??
I think it's a wonderful essay on media, money, power and ignorance among other important subjects. We need to speak about this things. Now more than ever!!!

A complete piece of garbage. Please avoid at all costs.
This gives the Mexican cinema a bad name, a string of poor, random interviews, random statements based on no real sources, and a poor narrative outline this film.
At best an internet project, at its worst, a complete waste of time and money. This film tries too hard to be a Mexican counterpart to a Michael Moore film, but without the investigation or fact finding needed to defend its being.
Olallo was a great DJ, and has a very recognizable voice, but his film work needs to develop before pitching another project. A clear example of the old phrase "Its not what you know, but who you know".
Better luck next time.

Why Olallo is always complaining about everything? I mean, i have heard his podcast and its the same thing, its still funny but that is what he does: he complains about every little thing of the earth, even he complains of us like humans. I had a lot of fun with a few things that appeared in this film but after the first hour of complains and complains and more complains you just want to see another thing. Humans are for sale, that's what he say, we as humans are the worst thing in the universe, that's his idea, well Mr. Rubio notice this: YOU ARE A HUMAN and not because you pass your time telling us how to think, how to be and that if we continue our lives as we like we are going to be unhappy, what do you know about happiness? you live for cry about the world where you live, you aren't superior than us!
Olallo Rubio used to be a DJ on Mexico City radio just like Alejandro González Iñárritu before him. But while González Iñárritu was innovative and introduced a whole new style to Mexican radio, Olallo was simply a me-too who was just in love with his own voice.
Now Olallo wants to become a movie director (too) so he went out and asked a number of shallow questions to some random people in the US and Mexico and obviously nothing worthy came out of it, just a hodge podge of trivial and frivolous nothingness. But the eternal egomaniac nevertheless tried to make a movie out of all that worthless footage and if you see it you'll regret it.

I don't know why people like this, sure the topic is good, but the way to show it is really bad; some interviews with random people, all from one social class, without even asking some specialists or needy people, with some statistics about both countries, but without any conclusion. Some parodies about human cloning, illegal immigrants, price of your organs and so on. Don't misunderstand me, the idea is good, but a great theme, some interviews and statistics don't make a good movie.
The movie shows correctly the differences between Mexicans and us people, but fails at managing this in a proper order.
Like i said, Great topic, poor presentation.
