After watching this movie I'm still sitting with questions on why Renato's dad left his Mexico family to be with the American family that he had a mistaken one night stand with. It's just illogical and doesn't make sense. Not to mention if Renato really hates his half brother it makes no sense for him to rescue him towards the end after leaving him behind. The movie must've cut out a lot of scenes that would've answered these questions. Beside these illogic, Luis Gerardo Méndez really stood out in his title role for this movie, very funny as the guy that hates America. In this movie he comes from Mexico and in real life he comes from Mexico, too. His English accent is charming and whoever casted him for this role picked it well. The other half brother did a good job as well portraying a weird person. I would say about 30 to 35% of this movie was in Spanish so expect to read English subtitles if you can't speak Spanish. The plot is original and kind of interesting as you are led on a journey following riddles left by Renato's dad to find out why he abandoned his Mexico family and stayed in America. The ending was a happy ending, as you can predict. It's a nice, funny movie.
