Compadres

The IMDb indicated that this movie, in English, would open 6 April, so I was curious when it opened here in Acapulco on April 1, advertised as a Spanish language film. About half the dialog in the version I saw was in funny but very vulgar Spanish (without titles) and half in English (with Spanish subtitles).

Compadres (Buddies) is an above average buddy flick with more than a little violence. It starts Omar Chaparro and Joey Morgan as the buddies, and both are great. Eric Roberts and Kevin Pollack, who are listed first and second in the IMDb cast list have minor roles and both are them more than adequate. The 'storyline' says the cop's wife is killed but in the version I saw, it's his girlfriend (novia) who is kidnapped.

Compadres is a Film that would not get you bored at all, because it's pack with action, and when it's not shooting around it's having a blast joking around with every little situation it finds, jokes may be based in Mexican culture but any person with should get them with ease.

Movie may not be proper for kids but if your willing to take them it will be really enjoyable for them it has something for all the family. This comment are based in my opinion because I went with my family and they seem to enjoyed a lot.

All in All is super funny and enjoyable, it's perfect for days when you just wanna see and interesting movie and you just want not to over think every small detail.

I'm sure I would have enjoyed this movie more if I was ready for mostly subtitles. Most movies today have different languages, which is fine. IDMB lists this as English/Spanish. It should be Spanish/English. 95 % in Spanish. Agian that's fine if that is what you are looking for.

The rest is just to fulfill the character requirements. I know there are movies made all over the world for different audiences. Of course. Actually I watch enough movies wirh Spanish in it that I have been taking an online Spanish course for two years. Sadly Spanish spoken at normal speed is not for rookies.

All that being said Adios.

Sorry, thats really bad... and far too long... its like the director didnt know if doing an action movie or a comedy, so he didnt either. No chemistry between the two main characters, everything painfully obvious, and the only good thing are some of the side characters who acted well, but didnt get enough lines...

This Mexican crime caper comedy gets decent performances from its two leads Omar Chaparro and Joey Morgan, and, on occasion, its dark humor works. However, for the most part the preponderance of the movie is filled with strong violence, a number of gross-out scenes, many attempts at black humor that fall flat, and numerous crosses and double-crosses that can get quite tiresome.

The plot revolves around a Mexican police lieutenant (Chapparo) who must join forces with a 17-year-old hacker (Morgan) to try and find his kidnapped pregnant girlfriend, as they get caught up in a Mexican mob chase involving millions of dollars.

Overall, the film directed by Enrique Begne, just,in my opinion, wasn't consistent enough in what it offered. To me, it seemed to have its moments but then would regress again, and thus the low rating.
