Movie Review

Grade: F Robert Rodriguez is one of the most efficient directors in Hollywood. He directs, writes, edits and even does his own special effects, all from his home. With his fast and creative style, his low budgets almost always equal massive profits for the studios. He is also the director of Desperado, one of the best action movies ever made. And Once Upon a Time in Mexico, one of the worst. Read the full movie review

Laughable, by coy "bambino"

June 13, 2004

This movie was one of the worsts and most likely the most laughable of 2003. I was laughing through probably the entire movie and that is the only reason that i watched the entire film. So, I would say as an action movie, this would be an F easily, but as a comedy and in laughability, then it would most likely be an A. I am not even being the least bit sarcastic in my words because at most times, I was wondering if Johnny Depp was mainly just trying to mess around and make this movie a comedy. So if you're up for a laugh, then rent this movie tonight. It was absolutely hilarious.
