Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
The Spanish wild man Alex de la Iglesia delivers a disappointingly well-behaved film with this sentimental comedy about a boy's reunion with his lovably eccentric grandfather.

It thinks it's cute, but it's as charming as an old drunk going on about how he knew Eastwood back in the day.

800 Bullets has funny moments, but it also has a lot of drag time.

Alex de la Iglesia's charming comedy celebrates the resilient power of dreams, memories, and the movies.
