“Iu0026#39;m always in the mood for a nice mistaken-identity comedy. This one is a comedy that begins with a bout of danger before the plot takes the protagonist into another world– like u0026quot;Some Like It Hotu0026quot; or u0026quot;The Wizard of Ozu0026quot;– but throughout the plot, the danger is never far away and weu0026#39;re repeatedly reminded that itu0026#39;s a real-life danger– the danger that comes with being an illegal immigrant. The audience expecting a formulaic comedy will find one here, with some nicely phrased dialogue, stock characters, and familiar situations, but the actors sell it all successfully and the script swings elegantly between farce and dead-serious social commentary.”
