Baja

Checked this movie out on a lark while it was in theaters and was really pleasantly surprised. Really fun little indie road trip comedy that covers all the bases (comedy, romance, suspense, drama). It's even got one of my favorite actors in it Mark Margolis (Hector Salamanca from Breaking Bad!).

If you're looking for a fun, feel good comedy that will draw you into its story and give you something a little more meaningful than your average comedy, this is definitely worth checking out. The entire cast is really solid and there are a ton of really fun supporting characters that pop in and out of the story. To top it off, the story and themes go a little deeper than you would expect on first glance and really stay with you.

Basically, there's no way you're going to come out of this movie not feeling better than when you went in. Highly recommend for a weekend afternoon flick or a good date night movie.

Simple and funny script, photography is awesome of the natural beauty of bajacalifornia

What a fun movie. Beautiful scenery and great cast! Boy what a road trip! I now know where my next road trip will be.

Right off the top, I want to put out there that I have a very biased opinion. I am one of the producers of BAJA.

That said, I got involved with Prankster Entertainment and Tony Vidal because his stories are uplifting and positive... And BAJA is such a film.

It is light; and yet there are some great plot twists. Even though I know the story, I can still get lost in it... wondering if everything is going to work out all right.

As a friend said to me, BAJA is a fable - with an excellent moral. I think it has several morals, but that's splitting hairs.

This is a perfect family movie. Everyone from the 6/8 year-old to Grandma and Grandpa - and every one in between - will be entertained and enjoy the experience.

There is a lot I could say about production quality - all very positive - however, I think the main point is the movie stands on its own along with all the other studio productions coming out today.

See BAJA - I think you'll like it!

P.S. The cast is amazing! :-)

We screened this title with pretty low expectations, but we're great fans of the Baja California peninsula, so we hoped that we'd at least get to see some great scenery and maybe some familiar places. This film, however, only served to remind us that good movies are hard to make. There was nothing overtly terrible about this effort (well, the "special effects" surfing scenes and the ferry sinking with the RV aboard -- not a spoiler, btw, as this scene is in the trailer -- were so terrible you had to wonder whether the filmmaker realized they were laughable), but when you take a B-minus story (the story had potential, sadly unrealized here), C-plus acting (the cast has talent, I fault the director for not eliciting better performances), C-minus screenplay (oh! the dialogue! the cliches! the cultural condescension! the tedious expository moments!), D-plus digital color grading (a heavy-handed directorial indulgence that should have been totally unnecessary) on top of the aforementioned failed effects, you get a D-minus-minus movie. The whole turned out to be MUCH less than the sum of its parts. And the lure of a vicarious road trip down the peninsula? Sorry, no dice here, either, as the movie was almost completely shot in and around a modern development in Loreto, standing in for scenes as disparate as the old city of La Paz and the Los Cabos International airport. Oh, I should add that the music was pretty good -- and while none of it stuck with me the next day, it was maybe the best part of the movie! Better Baja movies abound. Dial up the desert-racing documentary DUST TO GLORY, or the Spanish-language dramedy CAMINO A MARTES, just to name two. Let this one dry in the desert dust and never waste anyone's time again.
