Day Without A Mexican
 
   

Product Description

 
It seemed like just another day when the residents of California awoke from their peaceful slumber. The usual pink smog filled the air, creating a foggy haze over the mid-morning sunrise as the population rubbed their eyes, ready to face another...wait a minute, PINK smog? On further inspection the residents discover, to their horror, that disaster has struck The Golden State overnight. The entire Latin-American population has been wiped out in one fell swoop, meaning that one third of the citizens have suddenly vanished! With the governor conspicuous by his absence, it's up to the redoubtable Senator Steven Abercrombie III (John Getz) to grapple with the problem. Unfortunately Abercrombie is widely known for his anti-immigration stance, and with California falling apart he hardly seems to be the right man to take charge of the situation! Hope comes in the unlikely figure of TV news reporter Lila Rodriguez (Yareli Arizmendi), a Hispanic who has somehow survived the mass exodus. But a demented military ge...

Forget the Alamo: Rent This Flick

Date of Review:  Mar 5, 2005
The Bottom Line: Funny stuff, mixed with repetitious stuff. For those willing to pick and choose their humor, this one is worth it.
Review: A Day Without A Mexican is a political and social satire disguised as a mockumentary/thriller. Watching it, I couldn't help but think of Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" (1729), where that Irish satirist recommended a solution to Irish poverty:...

One-note Wonder

Date of Review:  Nov 29, 2005
The Bottom Line: Not an excellent movie, but it makes its point.
Review: I had heard about this movie when it first came out, although I don't think that it ever got much publicity. A Day Without a Mexican is a movie about what might happen if everyone of Hispanic descent disappeared from California. In the movie, a...

A polemical movie without much logic

Date of Review:  Dec 5, 2004
The Bottom Line: If political polemics are your style, this might be for you.
Review: This seems to be "Foreign Film Day" for me; I've already reviewed a Korean film, and now here's a Mexican one. Well, actually, it shows up in the Internet Movie Database as being from Mexico, the U.S.A., and Spain, since it's a joint production of a...
