Great musical road trip

I traveled down Baja with my father once. It brought so many memories. Made me laugh, and go through many feelings. I love how the relationship between the uncle and the the nephew evolves over the road trip and the music does the same. I loved it

Fun Movie You'll Want to See Again and Again

This film has everything you can ask for - adventure, comedy and drama- and not a dull moment in between plus 10 original songs! Fun movie you'll want to watch over and over. Based on a true story. I highly recommend it!

Awesome movie

I laughed to hard, but then it changed and made me cry at the end. I think it was well executed, well directed, beautiful photography and the actors did a great job. The music is awesome. I want the soundtrack.

Stereotypical but moving

I'm very impressed by this film. It's stereotypical, as I know - I've lived in Mexico 25 years - but basically Mexican at heart and all the funnier for that. The scene with the street 'Banda' was very funny and typically Mexican although I have also seen the same in Nicaragua. And if the ending doesn't make you cry I will be surprised.

Great Adventure!

It's a fun story and adventure. Fun to see places I've been to in Mexico. Brought back memories for me. Funny and touching! One crazy road trip to remember!
