Critic Reviews

Claudia Puig, USA Today
Lively music helps. But it's more bullet-riddled escapade than an all-out laugh riot.
Mike Hale, New York Times
If you don't get the jokes, there isn't a whole lot else to get, and it's a safe assumption that non-Latino, non-Spanish-speaking viewers are going to miss a lot of them.
