One morning, California wakes up to find that one-third of its population -- the Hispanic third -- has disappeared. A strange pink fog envelops the state, and communication outside its boundaries is completely cut off. The economic, political and social implications of this disaster threaten California's way of life, and for a group of disparate people (all white, except for one Latina), the cracks in their private lives are forced wide open.

Top Critics Reviews

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

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

fresh:
Charming if amateurish farce of a movie.
– Michael Booth,

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.
– Achy Obejas,

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.
