Mike McCahill Guardian Sunny, good-natured yet inescapably middling ... Rated: 2/5 May 29, 2014 Full Review David Parkinson Empire Magazine A road trip movie filled with simple pleasures. Ashmore does a solid job as a mariachi musician without a single grenade-launcher in his guitar case. Rated: 3/5 May 26, 2014 Full Review David DeWitt New York Times As the moving concluding scenes cement, "Mariachi Gringo" is right on pitch - and, happily, not simply as you'd expect. Rated: 3.5/5 Mar 14, 2013 Full Review Stefan Pape HeyUGuys Exceedingly irritating Rated: 2/5 May 30, 2014 Full Review Emma Johnston Total Film Unfortunately, thanks to barely sketched, predictable characters, it's an opportunity wasted.

Sylvia S This film was a pleasant surprise. Not so much a rom-com as a sweet, feel good movie. As someone who grew up listening to Mariachi I loved how they paid respect to the music and the musicians. Lila Downs songs brought me to tears. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/07/23 Full Review david r I rented it for .99 cents. I'm still waiting for them to pay me or I want the 45 min back. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/13/24 Full Review Audience Member 5 Stars for recruiting Lila Downs who brings her mellow yet strong brilliance to smoothen out the experience of the film!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member The film itself is a bit slow at times, perhaps even boring to a simpleton, but the music is fantastic and Shawn Ashmore is brilliant. Viva la Guadalajara! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Sunny, good-natured yet inescapably middling. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member lo mas increible de esta pelicula no es ver a el gringo de mariachi sino saber que en ninguna escena sale Martha Higareda sin ropa....
