This movie is so awful I had to watch Troll 2, Freddy Got Fingers, and The Room from 4-10 just to make me believe my money was not wasted. What kind of stuck up person thought this piece of crap film was worth releasing? Director/Producer/Writer Paul Ramirez. Every person involved in this film is talentless. Period.

Feeling worthless? Watch this film and feel better about yourself, for there are people out there who are truly worthless like the people involved in this unworthy "film". Everything about this "movie" is amateurish.
How a human being could have attempted such an abysmal film as "Tortillas Again?" without committing suicide before he had finished the first scene?... it's a mystery.
Making a film this trashy in the 21st Century is inexcusable. Did they used a camcorder to record this shameful film? Seems like the director Paul Ramirez and his crew were completely careless about this project. I'm pretty sure the producer rushed into getting this piece of garbage released so they could have something to brag about in their pathetic lives. The acting was so lousy and mediocre, it was embarrassing and painful to watch. The plot is ridiculous and predictable. The editing is abominable. Sound is abhorrent, you can hear the hiss throughout the movie. Seriously, "Tortillas Again?" is one of the worst films ever made. I hope the creator or the responsible for this heinous films, get banned for life from the industry and from ever attempting to dishonor again one the artistic form of expression we called motion pictures.

I can't exactly remember how or why I ended up seeing this movie, but here I am, alive, after watching the worst film ever made. 'Tortillas Again?' is that bad, I promise you. The main plot is so very full of holes, clichés, and stupid plot devices that it is difficult to be involved by it. For a "family" comedy, the plot doesn't need to be perfect, but it needs to be good enough so that it doesn't take away from the film, in 'Tortillas Again?' it is so weak that it damages the film at it's core. The characters themselves are poor, actors are obviously amateur and possibly improvised. Editing is atrocious, did the editor used the pre-installed Windows Movie Maker from his computer to put together this film? Paul Ramirez has to be the lest talented director in the industry; did he did everything by himself? Did he filmed the movie using an old camcorder? I've seen homemade quinceañeras videos with better production and higher image quality than this pathetic film...
Only a truly cynical and egocentric person might think that making reference to independent directors during the film is a good self-promotion idea as if they where remotely closed to their level.
Enough said... This film is so awful!

I felt that I should comment on the travesty that is "Tortilla's Again?"
The box art looked promising. Actually, that's a lie. It looked f-cking horrendous. But there was a crap-tastic tagline on the back that made me laugh- "they just wanted dinner. He wanted dinero!"
Get it? Hahahahahahaha.
So I take it home and watch it. Things go downhill quickly. There are a few scenes of "character development". Mostly it's a few characters saying hateful things about white people, more or less. I thought it was pretty amusing, but mostly corny. But I let it slide, because I figured soon enough the movie would get on with the actual story and the laughs would follow. I was wrong.
If you read the description about the film, which says that a man has a winning lotto ticket, which he loses, do not believe it. Sure, there are maybe three scenes where he loses his lotto ticket, but this is before he's even sure he's a winner! He leaves his ticket in his shirt, which almost gets washed by his wife, then his friend tries to steal it, and then he leaves it in his shirt again, and his mother in law washes it! But the last ocurrance doesn't happen until about the last ten minutes of the movie, when he finally finds out he won.
He soon learns that his mother in law washed his shirt, with the ticket inside. His onw fault, because he should of learned his lesson the first time it happened, a f-cking day before!!
Instead of beating the 35 million out of her, he decides that he's already rich, because his family loves him, or some corny bullsh!t. Then it turns out the mother in law baked the entire ticket into a tortilla. They find it, and everyone lives happily ever after. How she managed to bake an entire ticket in a tortilla without burning it or damaging it in any way is beyond me. I found that to be both stupid and racist.
What was the point of the father winning the lotto? There was no point. The plot description makes the viewer believe that the father is on a quest to retrieve his ticket, but that's hardly the case. Once he finds out he's won, he asks like two people where it is, then gives up. And this all happens in the last ten minutes. No quest, no comedy, no nothing. Just a bunch of pointless scenes and dialogue that goes nowhere.
I sh!t you not, there is a scene where this band hears an explosion, and one of the kids says about a girl that just left- "I think the explosion was in her pants." It's even worse in the context of the film than it is now.
Now, I know this is a very long post, and it is probably more of a review than anything, but I have a question for the director/writers. What was the point of this movie? Seriously. I've seen some pieces of sh!t in my day, but this was possibly worse than them all. No, I take that back. The Hulk was worse. But this is easily a close second. If I didn't rent it for free I would want my money back. I would appreciate either an apology or an explanation. I just wanna know what you were thinking when you made this movie. I can tell it was a homemade/indie film, but you could of done way, way better.

I rarely write reviews, but I need to get it off my chest. Watching low-budget crappy indie flicks is one of my guilty pleasures, but this film is not even funny to mock, it's just sad. 'Tortillas Again?' has AMATEUR written allover, in addition to a ridiculous title. 'Tortillas Again?' is atrocious, production is repugnant, lacks character development, has an absurd plot, distasteful editing, zero artistic value; hell, even student/YouTube films have better production and are more dedicated in crafting their motion pictures. Everyone involved in this film is talentless in every way possible. I'm not even going to waste my time giving a detailed constructive criticism, for I believe that people involved in this project are too dumb to even comprehend the dimension of their failure; besides, I'm pretty sure whoever was involved in this awful "film" cannot handle any criticism...
What the hell was going through their minds when they were producing and creating this abysmal film? Who the hell thought that this god-awful film was even worth releasing? Producer/editor/director Paul Ramirez and his colossal ego have no love for what they do; Paul Ramirez has no talent, no creativity, no self-respect, and no integrity. Paul Ramirez, for everything that is holy, please stop making films! 'Tortillas Again?' is the anti-film, it's a big middle finger to cinema and to the Lumière brothers. I'm dead serious it's not hyperbolic: TORTILLAS AGAIN? IS ONE OF THE WORST FILMS IN CINEMATIC HISTORY...

This movie was absolutely terrible - the longest 72 minutes of my life. I have no idea how anyone involved thought this movie was even worth releasing. I drove over to a DVD rental kiosk one night to check out the new releases. Nothing looked very interesting and this movie caught my eye since I had never heard of it. I read the description and decided it looked like it had potential and I'm always up for checking out new independent films. Now I went into this movie with a realistic mindset - to say I didn't expect much is an understatement. I popped in the movie...but I wasn't close to being prepared for the next 72 minutes of torture. I'm not the type of person to turn off a movie or walk out before its over - I'm going to give it a chance until the (in this case) bitter end. The acting was terrible. Countless lines were flubbed (why couldn't they do another take?) No thought was put into the slow-moving uninteresting scenes. This entire story could have easily been told in 20 minutes. While it would have still been boring...it would have saved me an hour of my life. The movie opens with a silent, pointless 30 seconds of a guy slowly putting on a pair of socks. Just one of many scenes that had me screaming in my head, "WHY?!" If they only had 2 days to write and film this entire movie I still would have expected more. The only reason I give it a 2 is because I will admit I laughed a couple of times...and I have to leave room for (gulp) a movie that might even be worse (I couldn't even imagine.) I literally found myself cringing at various moments throughout the movie because it was just so painful to watch. I think there was supposed to be some tired lesson or moral buried somewhere in this film...but there was nothing creative about it and it was a sad attempt indeed. I'm not saying there's no chance the people involved with this movie could ever make something worth watching...but I would be shocked as they have a very long way to go. It was annoying when they referenced several great independent directors during the movie as if they were somehow on their way to being at a similar level. I can't even describe how happy I was when this movie was over. It really makes you appreciate a good movie.
