Negative Positive
Title: I liked it!
Review: If you're like me, you tend to read the worst reviews to see if anything that's said would change your mind about trying the product. It's difficult with movies and books since it's so much a matter of taste, opinion and sense of humor. One of the things that the negative reviews kept harping on is that the movie reinforces negative stereotypes. That may be true but I'm sitting in a McDonald's in Carlsbad, New Mexico that is providing fairly good evidence why those stereotypes exist. Another criticism is that it makes all the Mexicans look like good, honest people who deserve our understanding for the struggles they endure. How dare they? I bought the movie because it was filmed in West Texas (Van Horn, Big Bend and lots of places in between), because it got great reviews and because of Tommy Lee Jones. I was not disappointed.
Is the review positive or negative?
