Emilio (Miguel Varoni) and Alejandro (Fernando Colunga) have hatched a plan for the perfect crime, but in order to carry out their caper the diabolical duo will need a crack crew who can stealthily inject themselves into the inner circle of their wealthy mark. Moctesuma Valdez is a man of power with many personal servants, and if Emilio and Alejandro's team can simply assume the guise of gardener, maid, or chauffer, they will be in the perfect position to strike when Valdez least expects it. When the skilled members of the regular team all reject the plan, Emilio and Alejandro are forced to hire "real" immigrants to get the job done. From electronics expert Julio to father/daughter transportation team Rafa and Rafaela and skilled disguise artist Miguelito it seems as if all of the elements have come together, but what to make of a crew who has all of the qualifications and no actual criminal experience? ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Robert Koehler, Variety
Comic touches are obvious and broad, while helmer Joe Menendez lacks the essential energy for a vital heist entertainment.
-
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
This film is like Ocean's Eleven if directed by Robin Hood and financed by Telemundo.
-
Claudia Puig, USA Today
The con they carefully plan is perilous and close to impossible, but the outcome is surprisingly heart-warming and satisfying.
-
Ruthe Stein, San Francisco Chronicle
Needlessly complicated and kind of silly.
-
Peter Debruge, Miami Herald
The movie is primarily about fantasy, and everything is exaggerated to such a degree that you play along.
