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.

I rented it for .99 cents. I'm still waiting for them to pay me or I want the 45 min back.

5 Stars for recruiting Lila Downs who brings her mellow yet strong brilliance to smoothen out the experience of the film!!

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!

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.

As the moving concluding scenes cement, "Mariachi Gringo" is right on pitch - and, happily, not simply as you'd expect.

Unfortunately, thanks to barely sketched, predictable characters, it's an opportunity wasted.
