Beware low ratings and subjective reviews of movies, including this one. I gave this 9 stars based on how well the movie delivered on what it promised. It did fantastically.It was a little bit wacky, but not even close to being over-the-top. All the jokes were original, imaginative, and genuinely funny. The humour didn't rely on being crude or scraping the bottom of the gutter. No foul language or innuendo, except for 5 minutes from one character who suited that brand of humour - yet even that was very tame.The narrative was consistent and engaging with no plot holes. It didn't test my suspension of disbelief. Except for one fake-out, there were no clichés. Even the fake-out was accompanied by a tasteful and funny joke.Would watch again. Would show to friends.

Don't watch this movie with any expectations and you will be pleasantly surprised! Antonio Banderas plays his part well!Be sure to watch all the way to the end, like past the credits, there is a fun part... Bandarass is for sure the star in this movie - the little boy could have used more of a part, I think if they had drawn his character out a little more it could have been a more slap stick kind of comedy.

Antonio Banderas is terribly miscast as an aging British rocker, who had a part time accent. While vacationing in Chile, his wife Sheila (Olga Kurylenko) is kidnapped by a group of fishermen looking to get some money for their poor village. The million dollar ransom is not the issue if they can get the inept US government representatives from interfering.Banderas plays for a group called "Metal Assassins" with their hit song "Teenage A** Patrol." They didn't even try to make it sound good. The film had some funny moments, but was mostly smile funny with overused beer humor.Guide: Brief swearing and nudity. Sex talk.

Even Banderas couldn't save this attempt at making a movie. Best you wait for it to air on TV or better still, give it a complete pass. There's not a single likable or hateable enough character...it's all so very awful at being very awful, it's like it was made by a group of drug addicts trying hard very hard to afford their next supply. I don't wanna bore anyone by trying to try explain what this motion picture is, in case I get blamed for ruining people's breakfast...lol
