We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

What are critics saying?
There's no gold dust to be found here, just an awful lot of stick-on glitter.
The premise is so sad it's impossible to chuckle at the often heavy-handed humor.
Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas
Has the same kind of humor, charm and sensuality that made "Like Water for Chocolate" the most popular foreign-language film until "Life Is Beautiful" came along.
TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
A brightly colored, picaresque adventure that's equal parts telenovela melodrama and pop-magic realism.
A Mexican film that reaches for a very weird and risky tone, and, I think, fails.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer by Sean Axmaker
It's remarkably bright, funny and sweet for a film that wades through so much sleaze, though it can't escape all of the weirdness it worms through.
