Compadres

México very rarely produces action movies, it's always comedy or drama, but this time they did it, and did it well! The scenes, the effects, the music everything fitted perfectly! The quality of the production is really good, so give it a try. If you're expecting an ACTION movie like the ones with The Rock or Jason Statham, I mean NO this is no the right movie for you. This is COMEDY, action comedy, and if you don't understand American humor then don't criticize this movie. The film has a lot of action and good fight scenes, guns, money, blood and the best, humor!

Maybe Omar Chaparro wasn't the perfect guy for the main role but he's a really good comedian so I have no complains. On the other hand Joey Morgan makes a great job with a more serious role. If you're Mexican you'll even recognize a lot of cameos from several celebs that I'm sure will make you laugh.

The movie is funny, perfect for relaxing a little bit, lots of laughs, very well done. If you have the chance go see it! If you like movies like The Hangover type, then you'll like this one ;)

Wow am I impressed! When I first saw this I thought to myself: " Well if they didn't get a cheap version of Jonah hill to make an American style Comedy Movie about nerds done by Mexicans. What a cheap gimmick." Yet that is not the case at all. When you give the movie a chance, you find out, that the ruddy "kid", Actually does a good job acting. He did a good job, unlike minor characters in low grade American Comedy movies. The movie actually has substance. I Enjoyed the many different types of Mexican Personalities portrayed in this movie. It gives International audiences a glimpse into personalities not typically portrayed even in Mexican Cinema. Whats really cool about the Film is that it feels like you're reading a Comic Book. Nothing too deep, while at the same time having enough Interesting Scenarios to keep you entertained, and the right amount of sentimentalism to keep you engaged with the Character's Relationships. This is the first Mexican Cinema Film in which I have seen the use of Odd Pair characters, which I believe was used effectively in this film. I personally enjoyed the Mexican Beauties portrayed in this Film. I believe it is about time someone portrayed what Hot Mexican girls actually look like. It was fun to see the director, allow the women to be themselves and portray normal Mexican girls instead of the typical seductive Spanish Señorita, Salma Hayek was turned into by her agents. Also, the amount of cameos by Major and Minor Mexican and Chicano celebrities was astounding. I really enjoyed that as a fan of these celebrities.

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.
