There's an earnestness and a fundamental truth to this familial saga-as well as an appealing, low-budget scrappiness-that consistently make it hum.

Rated: 3/4

A well-intentioned but superficial story about a deep-rooted Hispanic subculture.

Rated: 2/4

TheWrap

Mexican-American culture isn't merely draped over the story as an added element but woven throughout with a casual practicality that respects both the primary characters and their shot-on-location East L.A. setting.

The script is balanced by earnest performances and an engaging look into a culture that's grossly underrepresented onscreen.

Rated: 3.5/5

Lowriders has a lot of thoughtful parts that don't quite mesh into a coherent whole.

Rated: 2.5/4

Lowriders exudes passion from the cast and everyone involved, and the final result is a passion project that is both poignant and socially relevant despite its many flaws.

Rated: 7/10

The only reason I watched this movie until the end is because of Eva Longoria's acting. This has got to be her most earnest performance to date. Lowriders I found to be uninteresting.

Excellent movie. Completely different then what I was expecting. In the times of Fast and Furious films, nice to see a film with a different outlook on thing. Script was very good.

The most under rated movie ever. I was hesitant because of the critics but went ahead. The movie suck you in from the very beginning until the end. Great photography, scenography, acting and not a dull moment. Last time a movie suck me in like this was Gladiator

Rating: 59% Its clichés and overly melodramatic tone take prominence here, but Lowriders still manages to be a quietly entertaining family drama with fine performances and worthy themes.
