Audience Member Like Gaucho Serenade this is a road trip flick to Mexico, and the actor playing Pancho almost steals the movie. Better music, Autry looks stoned singing Ai-yi-yi in his laid back country style and the white actors in "mexican" face paint seems extremely odd (reminded me of the actors playing Klingons on the 1960's Star Trek) but the story is a lot of fun and keeps the family entertained. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member In RT database twice for some reason, this one with the year incorrect. Gene Autry with a Mexican twist, it is different than most of his films, not necessarily better, it is still pretty routine. Some good songs and at least it’s a change of pace for him. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
