I mean "Waah my father is drinking again " as the daughter comes home drunk from a party and finds him passed out. She's not five years old or anything. Grow up. When did kids start being superior to their parents? It's a pretty good movie all in all and I like Steve Zahn and even the actress who plays the daughter just not her childish behavior.

The good- The cast is great. First rate acting. Not a terrible story plot. A well filmed first rate quality made movie. Good scenery. Personally, I did not care for the music but can't say it was terrible. The bad- not that realistic. I wish Mexico (and the U. S.) and people were this nice and friendly. I'm afraid the world is a much more dangerous and harsh place. If you live in some imaginary fantasy world all this could be possible. But it doesn't drag the movie down too bad. After all, that's why people go to movies- to imagine a world the way they wish it was and not see the world as it is. Anyway- a decent happy fantasy movie. The great cast carries the poor writing.

Don't overthink or over analyse this movie. That is not what this charming movie is made for.

No the story is not very deep and there are definately no weird plot twists.

In short you can say this about Gringa, without giving anything away that isn't in the trailer or discription. Single mom dies, bum dad has to be found and takes over but struggles while trying and daughter is dealing with some issues herself. All of this is set in a tiny Mexican village, were people smile, go to church, surf and play soccer.

If you like an entertaining feelgood that is not to deep, than Gringa is your movie for tonight.

And on top of that Steve Zahn and Jess Gabor both act a very believable in this Mexican coming of age and booze feelgood movie.

This movie was really good. It had a good amount of lessons that everyone can use. It was also funnier than expected. The actors and actresses did a great job. I usually dont write movie reviews but I felt compelled to do so for this movie. The story line of the movie was very inspring and it spoke to what we need to teach our kids in Amercia- the gift of want, taking risk, bet and believe in yourself, dont do the popular thing, do what is right for you and dont be a follower.

Looking for a good family movie with a great story, this is it. Do yourself and family a favor and watch it together. Great job to the team.
