re: close-caption.......2005-07-09

I wish that it was close-caption and that would made it lot easier for me to know what was being said in the movie

FUNNY MOVIE FOR ALL TO SEE........2004-06-17

Carole Davis, who played Dominique was the best part of the movie. Her amazing looks would make even the most loyal companion cheat. Its a shame she got hit in the face with the pie.

for anyone who likes this movie, you'll buy it regardless. however. it is in 16x9 format(standard), it is not the widescreen version. as far as special features go, it has an option for 5:1 digital audio. this feature is not accessable thru the "audio set-up" option, you have to go into "special features" befor you start the movie if you prefer to listen to it this way. other features include the theatrical trailer and about a 1/2 dozen different tv commercials promoting this movie. enjoy a very funny cheech as a "leading man"?

One of Cheech's Better Movies.......2003-08-02

I LIKE this one. Cheech plays, of course, a Mexican who ends up in Australia of all places, working in a Mexican Restaurant. He disappears on his partner, who throughout the movie pleads for him to return. Turns out he has been hired by an Australian lady whose father owns everything and who she wants to put down. She already has a boy friend who she plans to marry, but hires Cheech to impersonate her boy friend to her father, telling Cheech to be as obnoxious and crude as possible. Cheech does his best, but Dad overhears the deal and now knows what is going on. So he tells her he approves of her choice and asks, "when's the wedding?" Well this puts her in a strange position, and, as the story unfolds, she becomes more and more attracted to Cheech and less attracted to the man she was going to marry. He punches Cheech in the eye and she finds out some dirt on him and, well, I won't spoil the ending, but things workout and all ends well. Not a moving production, no earth shattering revelations, no profound statements, just a cute little movie that for awhile anyway, makes you laugh and for a little while helps you forget all your other troubles. Well worth a look.

Description

The `Land Down Under' is turned upside down when Cheech Marin ventures into the world of dingos, koalas, kangaroos and blokes offering "G'Day" greetings. Cheech's character plays Carlos Munoz, a hapless partner in a struggling Mexican restaurant located in…Australia! And as chaotic as his life is, further complications ensue when stunningly beautiful Alex Hobart (Emma Samms) waltzes into his restaurant, forever changing his fortunes, albeit not as he might have hoped. As the daughter of the richest man in Australia, she finds herself in a bind when her father forbids her to marry the man she has chosen….but he foolishly agrees to accept her next choice in a husband. Determined to change her father's mind by making a choice of husband that will make her first choice acceptable, she finds that she need look no further than the hapless, uncouth, bumbling Carlos. The resulting conflicts breed an uproarious blend of comedy and unexpected romance for Carlos and Alex.
