Full Plot Details

A thick fog surrounds California's borders, communication beyond state lines is cut off, and the Mexicans disappear: workers, spouses, and business owners are missing. Cars are abandoned in the street, food is left cooking on the stove. We meet the wife of a musician who's gone, a state Senator whose maid doesn't show up for work, and a farm owner whose produce is ripe and unpicked. A scientist asks any Mexicans who haven't disappeared to volunteer for genetic experiments: a female newscaster and the daughter of the musician may be the only missing links around. Why them? And where have all the Mexicans gone? Even the border guards grieve. The state and its economy grind to a halt.

Movie Reviews

Hollywood Reporter - 8/10 by Michael RechtshaffenPlenty of salient points to make in this satirical cautionary tale, there's still not enough to sustain the expanded running time.
Cinema Crazed - 8/10 by Felix Vasquez Jr.Feels scattered, and inept, and takes a golden opportunity slamming it into the floor.
San Jose Mercury News - 7/10 by Bruce NewmanArau has expanded his satirical short from 1998 into one joke that he solemnly beats to death for 100 minutes.
Dallas Morning News - 7/10 by Gary DowellAn ambitious, hit-and-miss social satire that doesn't score as many direct hits as it should. But it lands enough punches to get its point across.
Miami Herald - 6/10 by Marta BarberThe intended satire doesn't deliver the kind of punch you may expect, but it nevertheless poses many what-ifs.
Dallas Observer - 5/10 by Jean OppenheimerUsing humor to make a serious point, Arau suggests that without the millions of Hispanics...life in the Golden State would screech to a halt.
Chicago Tribune - 5/10 by Achy ObejasNever really moves beyond its premise. It never takes us to a place of real understanding.
TV Guide - 5/10 by Maitland McDonaghFor the first hour director Arau and his co-writer and wife, actress Arizmendi, negotiate the story's tricky mix of comedy, social satire and science fiction with surprising aplomb.
Variety - 4/10 by Robert KoehlerDarkly amusing idea delivers an early salvo that fades as the film swings across a range of styles and tones director Sergio Arau gamely tries to corral. Even at its half-realized level, pic will anger some as it amuses others.
L.A. Weekly - 4/10 by Ella TaylorA terrific premise is mangled to a pulp, then beaten to death in this forced mockumentary.
