Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
As many times you consider A Day Without a Mexican a crude and underdeveloped parody, there are moments that it vindicates itself with on-the-money situations.

rotten:
The movie in its extended version is frequently muddled, emotionally messy, a little heavy-handed and misses the real opportunity presented by the new format.

Charming if amateurish farce of a movie.

By the film's end, we're more beleaguered than enlightened.

rotten:
The tone is often that of a preachy after-school special, down to the instructional messages that regularly flash across the screen.
