A runaway finds his Spanish grandfather (Sancho Gracia), who may have been responsible for the death of the boy's father.

Dave Kehr

New York Times

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.

Rated: 2/5

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.

Film Journal International

Lazy slapstick, farfetched melodrama and some fleeting nudity add up to a film that will mean little to those who aren't devotees of the genre.

... a tribute to the magic of movies and moviemaking set and shot in Almeria, Spain (home to scores of sixties westerns).

A family feud is resolved through a very dramatic, western style manner. Art direction was pretty good, and so was the overall acting. A pretty decent comedy.

A film thats very hit and miss. but anyone whos into the spagetti westerns wil see something. set in a spanish town, where supposedly a lot of them were made, and a stuntman of the time helping run the town as a tourist atraction. the film is at times stylish, and many references to the genre, with some great namechecks. lots of flaws, and a very weird scene with a hooker seducing a very young kid with him touching her breasts fit uncomfortably. so overall a curious watch.
