Hahaha, I actually forgot I requested this thread until this afternoon.
Anyway, I saw it about three weeks ago. It was good. The little bit of factoids that popped up made it seem like a documentary at times and really distracted me more than anything, although it helped stress the message of the movie. The acting was solid, and it was probably the best part of the movie. Overall, it's nothing I'd consider amazing, but a far cry from a bad movie, so I'd have to give it a B.

It was okay. Laughed-out-loud at times and the twist in the end is pretty funny. B-

The main character turns out to be adopted, she's actually Armenian, so she didn't disappear like the rest of the Mexicans._________________A hot man once wrote: Urgh, I have to throw out half my underwear because it's too tight.

I thought " It's probably a birth certificate....she's not Mexican." Not to say it wasn't bad. It really helped stress the message at the end of the movie, and it really wasn't an outrageous twist anyway, so meh. _________________
