Incredible social commentary. Yes, It's a little campy, but it's all supposed to be that way. It's an amusing look at attempting to 'rehab" homosexuals with therapy and "finding their roots". Great acting all around, excellent writing.

Personally, it was the subtle things that did it for me. Mary's son was funny, and the cut-outs (just pay attention to the boys' lessons) were Hilarious. I thought it was a great tongue-in-cheek way of saying "okay, this is stupid, we need to let them be" for the gay community.

If you're in the mood for a lot of laughing, and RuPaul out-of-drag to boot, rent this one.

Well...I saw all three over two nights. El Mariachi was incredible, and Desperado was an excellent continuation of the first. Once Upon a Time in Mexico, however, seemed to fall away from the original feel of the the first two. As a stand-alone action flick, it was alright...it has your car chases, explosions, love-ish story, and gunfights to make anyone sit up and pay attention.

But, honestly...to use the cliché, I'd have to split my rating thusly: If you watched the first two, and loved the story, I'd give it 2 out of 5 stars.

If you're expecting three sex-icons with lots of guns and stuff blowing up, 3 out of 5.

Overall...great popcorn movie.
