07/14/2014 Though the subject matter was extremely serious, almost throughout, the film felt comedic. It also managed to have one of the sweetest love scenes ever.

Mexican cinema is more than nudity, swearing and kidnappings... well, scratch the last one. This is an entertaining road movie done IN Mexico but outside Mexico City. A rarity.
