Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Juan Valdiva So I might be the only person who thought this but this movie was the worse $20 ever spent. There is 0 character development and seems they wrote the movie as they when with boring characters that rarely say anything funny instead it relies on your cliché physical comedy. the action is just boring the characters seem like your typical "dumn males" They tried to put in some meaning into the movie but it is unclear and its just lost in the twisted story line and horrible slapstick humor. If I had to guess it might be something about the Iraqis being good guys and American soldiers being bumbling idiots? (really! the soldiers in this movie are worse than storm troopers! they don't land more then one hit on out "heroes") But with all its flaws it still managed to pull a semi happy ending where things just magically get better (spoiler) his mom is magically cured and partying it up oh and for some reason his family magically ignores the fact the main character is an efin drug lord (also main reason they where never in his life) the only reason I even gave it 3 stars is for the few times I thought damn this movie is so bad its amusing. Don't waste your money or time..
Juan Ignacio Nunez (ringodude66) When I thought there were enough "narco" (drug dealers) movies, I saw the trailer of this movie... I believed there was something special in this movie, and, though I was wrong, anyway I had a funny time. This film deals with the typical Mexican stereotypes: drug trafficking, immigration,family values​​, etc. All in all,this film is a set of different hilarious gags, gags that perhaps a foreigner couldn't understand. The performances were pretty good, specially Miguel Rodarte (as Julián Pérez, the typical Mexican drug dealer), Jesus Ochoa (as Chema) and Gerardo Taracena (as Carmelo,a tomato farmer). As I said, this movie features numerous gags of physical humor, puns, and stereotypical characters. It is not a smart movie. It is not a movie with a message. It's only a funny movie for people who just wanna have a laugh. Anyway, this is one of the best Mexican films I've seen in recent years.
marialosa56 I truly love this film, is so funny and also so exciting, something that most of Mexican movies today seem to have forgotten. Is also a powerful story about family, I don't think is about to sanctified criminals, is about bad people doing a good thing in the middle of a terrible war and a crazy world. Antiheroes are here to stay in movies, since the beginning of cinema. And the antiheroes of "Salvando al soldado Pérez" are well presented, displayed and put into action and a weird but very enjoyable trip. I hope Mexican cinema learns from this movie to think about what cinema-goers expect from a movie: to have a very good time!!!!! By the way, I loved the references to Sergio Leone's movies and all the cinephile paraphernalia, including "Scarface", "Star Wars", you name it!!!!
sergio_ortega This movie is a parody of saving private Ryan with a big difference: this movie is a comedy that uses the Mexican stereotype to bring us some funny situations. The starring actors in this movie make a great performance like a group of "narcos" (drug dealers) with all the colorful that people thinks the narcos has. The music, the clothes, the speech and the cars has one purpose: fun. The story worthless the important thing here is the relationship in the family. Miguel Rodarte, Joaquin Cossio and Jesus Ochoa made an excellent work. Adal Ramones and Jaime Camil like always: not good not bad. The soundtrack is a band music compilation with pop song soy rebelde by jeanette. If you have time go to cinema but first watch black swan, the king's speech, 127 hours or true grit.
