Wow! Such a good movie.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Was expecting the usual zany Rob Schneider movie - was completely blown away. It was beautiful! A great message. Anytime you can see a transformation in an individual and watch how they become a better person, it's a good thing. At the beginning, we're wondering what has caused the self-destructive behavior, but as the movie progresses, we see the road he has taken, and where it has lead. The roles played by the Colombian girl and the three Natives were wonderfully done. I felt they were totally believable, and the innocence and beauty all four had contributed greatly to the film. I was also impressed by the role of Steve Buscemi. This was also a different part for him, and I felt that the dialog between the two brothers and their mother in the storage unit was particularly touching. The last scene brought tears - compassion was there and was exhibited through the saving the hawk metaphor. I would highly recommend this film and I just can't see where the criticism comes from!

I feel like I rented Cadillac, and got downgraded to a Pinto! This film sucked. Rob, your directors license has been revoked. I rented this movie from a Redbox. I suddenly have the urge to jump in my truck and ram the damn thing down. At least then I would have saved some poor bastard the excruciating pain of having to sit through this drab, no- plot, dead, piece of crap. The funniest thing about this movie was the reviews I read here. Some of the negative reviews here had me cracking up due to the fact that I could certainly relate. The positive reviews helped.remind me that there are certainly people in this world that need a frigging hobby! Is your own life so boring that you found this to be a step up? That is the only possible way you could have derived any amount of entertainment value from this movie.To you Rob; I love your usual movies. I am a huge fan! 80% of the reason I even rented this movie was because it had your name on it! I'll give Steve the other 20%. I thought the two of you together would be hilarious! Damn! Was I wrong! I feel ripped off. I went to buy Kobe beef and got trout! It was just empty. When your fans expect one thing, don't put the same ole "comedy" label on it and stuff something different inside! I feel 100% misled. I read the synopsis. Saw it was a comedy. You, Buscemi, a hot Latino chick, and three crazy shaman. It sounded fantastic! It could have been fantastic! There was definitely some opportunities here for something great. It just needed a different story. A different writer. A different angle. This just sucked ass bad! Just stick to what you do best, making everyone laugh at benefiting from insane misfortunes. You owe us one Rob.I just wasted 2 hours of my life! When this train wreck was finally over, my nine year old daughter said that the previews at the beginning of the DVD were better than the movie!I rented this movie because of being a fan of Rob Schnieders. This marks the last time I rent a movie just because of a particular actor or actress I like. Seems to me this was your rendition of "Reign over me". Just remember most people hated that too.

It's a Great Movie,Rob you have made a great work, this movie its a great revelation, it was a good-composing, contains the real history of the Arahuacos (it is not a joke and not contains any trace of racism) with the Indian people and show us that small actions produce great changes in the world. Please i ask for people try to view it like a emotional drama, anyway its a different thing. Rob has demonstrated he can make a real drama, this film isn't a comedy, indeed.The Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta has been falling due to global warming and it is true that the Arawak have always lived in peace for hundreds of years although when the Spanish conquerors arrived in America tried to take their natural resources (including gold, its emeralds and even their women).For me the performance of the Arawak has been appropriate to speak their own language because the Sierra Nevada is a corner of Colombia that has not arrived at all of Western civilization,the Carolina Gomez's performance (and script) is convincing, As well as any roles in this film, something new in the films of Rob Schneider and even in Happy Maddison.In any case this is not a movie movie rebel fighting the system (at least directly), also seeks to reflect the struggle of many Latinos abroad to which many of these come from an innocent way and how all the people come into the world for a reason.For me this movie is not a waste of time. It's a real movie that contains a great message for all the people.

This movie is not worth looking at. Definitely one of the most boring movies I've seen in a long time and also one of the most boring in my life. Always thought Rob was a great actor but this movie sucks balls, and Rob plays as if he knows that. The story is boring and shitty, there is almost no music at all for effects and the acting is just annoying really. The woman irritates me to death and I'm sure I'm not the only one that thinks so. There were only a few moments I could bring up a grin, but nothing more than that. I'm very sorry to say this, Rob, but this movie has absolutely nothing interesting. I'd rather look at attack of the sabretooth, a movie with special effects made with paint;)
