I am giving this movie a 4 because it made me laugh out loud more than once.
Let's go over some of these laughble/confusing/ frustrating moments. These are not in any particular order and they might not make too much sense if you didn't watch the movie... but I'll try my best.
1. After hanging out at a desert for the day, the family walks over to their car to head back home. The two children ask their mother if they could play a little longer to which the mother replies " go ahead, be back in an hour and a half." Does she give them water? No. Do they have cell phones ? I don't think so. Is this a desert that they are familiar with? No.
2. While the children are in the desert playing. The parents wait in the car...in the middle of the day.. in a public rest area. They begin to talk about the first sexual experience they ever had.. no, not as a couple themselves but their first experience ever ( the dad was like 11 and the mom was 13 ) ... they used this as dirty talk while he pleasured the mother and they went into great detail too. After this they both accidently doze off from the hard work for a few hours. When they wake up they realized their kids have been missing for hours.
3. After looking for a excruciating 10 minutes , the cops tell the parents there is nothing they can do to search because it's night time. Parents naturally agree to this, drive to a hotel and have a good night's sleep. The next morning the mother showers while the father patiently waits on the couch for her to finish getting ready for the day.
4. Children return home.. parents don't take them to hospital. Not even after the mother sees huge bruising on her sons back.
5. Daughter gets period for the first time, mother takes her to public bathroom and naturally has her take her dirty panties off and puts them on the counter top where everyone washes their hands, she leaves the bathroom door wide open for good measure. This is when she catches the janitor staring at her daughter's panties which makes mother angry.. poor guy was probably thinking "I'm gonna have to clean that up later".
6. Daughter wakes up in the middle of the night screaming and having what clearly looks like some type of seizure and mother ask father "should we call the cops?".
7. Mother follows kids to the desert.. when she gets out of the car a man magically appears next to her and nods in approval to go follow them... this was one of the weirdest interactions .. you just have to see it.
8. Parents kill a man. Blood gets all over their clothes as the kill him. In the next scene they are in their shower .. naked with blood splattered all over their chest and stomach... how did that blood get there? Did they take off their clothes before finishing the guy off?
In addition to this list , the acting was mostly bad.. and the script was pretty horrible too.. the mother was decent actress at the least.
I speak Spanish and I had trouble understanding the father because he mumbled so much.
