StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Edgar Allan Pooh . . . Victory for Trumplestiltskin in the 2016 U.S. Presidential Finals when you view the Looney Tune GONZALES' TAMALES (which works for a title ONLY if you read "Tamales" as a Mexican synonym for females, along the lines of the Americanism "Tomatoes," though SAUSAGE PARTY just made it clear that "Tacos" were, are, and always will be the preferred receptors for Fellas' Burritos). Trumpenstein began his campaign with the premise that Mexican rapists are pouring through a porous U.S. bottom periphery, which must be plugged up with a pile of bricks. GONZALES' TAMALES presents Speedy as a serial sexual opportunist through the eyes of his peers, who conspire to sic the Trumpster Fire--in the guise of Sylvester "the Gringo" P*SSY CAT"--upon the gluttonous seducer. Speedy's jealous fellow mice entice Sylvester onto THEIR side of Fortress America (just as Real Life Mexican Leader Enrique Pena Nieto bamboozled Mr. T into doing last week!), where the Fat Cat's promptly shaved, shot, and blown up (not to mention undergoing a symbolic Penectomy as Speedy yanks off his tail!). Though few (except probably Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio) wish to see Trumples similarly unmanned, it's hard to forget what Delilah did to that Samsonite Guy.

TheLittleSongbird This is not the best Speedy/Sylvester cartoon, but it is entertaining. It is standard and predictable and the production values are somewhat bland, plus Speedy is rather loud and repetitive here. However, what does make it entertaining are some good dialogue, some interesting sight gags, decent music and Mel Blanc's voices. Plus you feel sorry for Sylvester, the poor cat suffers horribly here, being forced to eat chilli peppers isn't that nice really and that's not even the worst of it. And I liked the title of the cartoon, it has real flair somewhat. And while I find the pacing off sometimes in Speedy cartoons, this one moves quite quickly. Overall, not great but watchable. 7/10 Bethany Cox

phantom_tollbooth Friz Freleng's 'Gonzales' Tamales' is a typically so-so Speedy Gonzales cartoon. It seemed to be Sylvester's fate to be paired with some of the least funny characters in the Warner Bros. repertoire and the poor gringo pussy cat got lumbered with Speedy for a long time, until he was finally relieved of that duty by Daffy Duck, bizarrely enough. 'Gonzales' Tamales' actually starts out promisingly with an interesting premise: all the other Mexican mice are tired of Speedy taking all their women so they decide to dispose of him. How? Therein lies the cartoon's problem. They decide to manipulate Sylvester into chasing Speedy out of town, at which point 'Gonzales' Tamales' becomes a standard Speedy and Sylvester cartoon, in which Sylvester tries to lure Speedy out of his hole in a variety of different ways. While there are a couple of laughs (I particularly like a scene in which Sylvester attempts to shoot Speedy only for the mouse to quickly dismantle the gun piece by piece), 'Gonzales' Tamales' largely seems like old hat. Even as a child when I loved even the dullest Sylvester and Tweety cartoon, I was disappointed when a Speedy cartoon came on and that feeling hasn't left me. 'Gonzales' Tamales' is just another in a long line of Speedy clangers.

mousie_hole i was watching this today on the third golden collection DVD set, and suddenly realized that in the scene when Speedy is singing in his hole, the words to his version of "la cucaracha," are translated to English thus:the cockroach, the cockroach, no longer can walk, because he doesn't lack because he doesn't have any marijuana to smoke!leave it to the guys at Termite Terrace to sneak in subversive bits of humor past censors and such.
