As former cop Garza seeks revenge on Santos, the crime lord who framed him, he forms an unlikely team with a young hacker who successfully stole $10 million from Santos. Wow am I impressed! When I first saw this I thought to myself: " Well if they didn't get a cheap version of Jonah hill to make an American style Comedy Movie about nerds done by Mexicans. What a cheap gimmick." Yet that is not the case at all. When you give the movie a chance, you find out, that the ruddy "kid", Actually does a good job acting. He did a good job, unlike minor characters in low grade American Comedy movies. The movie actually has substance. I Enjoyed the many different types of Mexican Personalities portrayed in this movie. It gives International audiences a glimpse into personalities not typically portrayed even in Mexican Cinema. Whats really cool about the Film is that it feels like you're reading a Comic Book. Nothing too deep, while at the same time having enough Interesting Scenarios to keep you entertained, and the right amount of sentimentalism to keep you engaged with the Character's Relationships. This is the first Mexican Cinema Film in which I have seen the use of Odd Pair characters, which I believe was used effectively in this film. I personally enjoyed the Mexican Beauties portrayed in this Film. I believe it is about time someone portrayed what Hot Mexican girls actually look like. It was fun to see the director, allow the women to be themselves and portray normal Mexican girls instead of the typical seductive Spanish Señorita, Salma Hayek was turned into by her agents. Also, the amount of cameos by Major and Minor Mexican and Chicano celebrities was astounding. I really enjoyed that as a fan of these celebrities. Just came out from watching this movie and it was freaking hilarious. Even if you do not speak Spanish most of the jokes will still translate a bit on the subtitles…but if you are bilingual then the Spanish jokes will have you going jajaja. This movie is a good old fashion hero cop movie. I don't want to give too much away, but I think that describes it. If you are looking for depth and seriousness this movie is not for you, if you want some action, jokes, and romance go watch this. I certainly feel I got my money's worth for this movie, more than Batman vs Superman. <br/><br/>Go watch this movie if you want to relax and take your mind off the world and see some fart jokes. Compadres tries to be a lighthearted cross-border buddy film, and sometimes it succeeds. But consistency is a problem — it doesn’t hit those humorous high notes often enough, and when it’s not in the comedic groove, it’s muddy.
