There are so many disturbing scenes and unexplained parts in this script.

Pros: mother son relationship is a vital part of the storyline that followed logical progression, Spanish and English format, casual beachy look that both main characters had was believable.

Cons: lack of back story on how the smart and driven mom was with a sad and weak character like Sebastian's dad, how the main character got back home and did the lobster left out die.

There are some good points to the film - it's filmed with some love. But in the end it is massively disappointing - so out of date - with that stereotypical misogyny and paternalism that you'd have hoped was now unacceptable in Mexico. I don't know who it is who played the father (Enrique) but whoever it is should be so ashamed at the role. You have to feel very sorry for the boy. Sebastian, with such a screwed up cast of people around him. Massively disappointing and embarrassing.

Because that's 99% of what people do in this movie.

Director is in love with Sinatra, let's just get that outta the way, because it makes as much sense as his whole movie.

If you like Barbara Mori, please don't watch this movie. You'll absolutely hate her after; and not because she did a great job as an antagonist you'll love-to-hate-her, but because she basically shouted all her lines from beginning to end.

It was completely unnecessary and didn't help any scene at all. The director/writer should pay to have this online, it's torture!

Script is trash, nothing original, the whole movie is spent fighting/shouting and then some scenery. Then repeat again.

There's a few very bad attempts at comedy, poorly written and executed.

The real funny thing is that people speak to each other in their own language, Americans; American and Mexicans; Spanish, but magically everything is understood... oh except for one teenager who switches back and forth between the two languages every other word.

Man this guy director/writer must have mailed this one in. What sad display.
