There are really only two reasons to watch this throwback/homage to Mexican Westerns of Yesteryear (Think Maria Felix...) Salma Hayek is one. Penelope Cruz is the other. Slicing and shooting their way through a silly plot, these two fine actresses rise... Full review

I was expecting a really BAD film, but it was really funny if not predictable. For an afternoon flick, it was worth it. Let's face it, the kissing scene was hilarious, and the sight of Penelope and Selma's hooters out half... Full review

I thought this movie was sexy and fun!! Salma and Penelope were moving, hillarious, and gorgeous to watch in this spirited and meaningful film. They embody the feel of Thelma and Louise, with the added va-va-voom of Patriotism. Not only did... Full review

this was a choppy film.....But overall, I still like the film.....I believe is the root of some of the film's shortcomings, was to find a director.....One would be hard pressed to find a more entertaining, light-hearted movie than Bandidas.....Steve Zahn's butt, but overall, this is a good film about friendship.... ...
