San Diego Reader

The cast is appealing, the location work in Baja is ridiculously colorful, and if you don't go in expecting too much, you won't be disappointed.

Rated: 1/5

Los Angeles Times

The scenery's pleasant and the actors are mostly likable. If "Baja" had been made in the '60s, it would have some kitsch appeal. It's easy watching, for anyone who needs a little mind-vacation.

David Lewis

San Francisco Chronicle

Vidal doesn't sufficiently mine the buddy dynamic. He's more interested in the romantic side of things, which would have been fine if his female characters weren't so boring and one-dimensional.

Rated: 1/4

Film Threat

Baja doesn't have the most original plot nor an overarching style. But the characters are really likable, the actors' chemistry is off the charts, and the cordial ambiance invites the viewer to lay back and have a good time.

Rated: B

Shadows on the Wall

The filmmaking is simplistic and the storytelling is often flat-out stupid, so it's never particularly involving.

Rated: 2/5

BAJA reminds the viewer of the 1980s "school break" and "student mischief" films

I don’t get it. Worst acting I’ve seen in a long time! We’re desperate for new movies, but not this desperate!

An amusing and thoroughly entertaining buddy road trip comedy, with very likable characters and a surprising and delightful storyline. The cast is great, the scenery is colorful, and the twists and surprises delightful. Wish I'd been on the trip with them!
