A questionable storytelling device dooms Welcome to Acapulco, an action comedy that quickly becomes a grueling and tiring watch.

2/5

Unfortunately, by centering everything on an unlikeable lead [character] who keeps stopping the story for his own needs, all the good gets lost.

Welcome to Acapulco - at least partially - warrants your investment. It may not reach levels of great trash, but it sure aspires to such, and is always watchable, if only for the sight of thespians hamming it up for a buck.

Are most of the actors picking up a paycheck and getting a free vacation in Acapulco? Absolutely! Is this film going to be remembered? No way. However, does the scenery and story provide decent enough entertainment? I mean, kinda. Yes, the lead was poorly cast, but the scenery is beautiful and hey, Michael Madsen.

The worst thing i ever seen. I fall sleep half of the movie, i hate the voice of the lead actor, they basically try to do a "Scott Pilgrim vs The World" type, and again, i HATE THE LEAD ACTOR, so annoying.

This film is the most boring one I've seen lately. He is too predictable and has a "lazy" script. The characters are not interesting and I did not empathize with them at all.

I absolutely enjoy some B-movies, but this one was a big yawn. The dull main character took me on a tedious journey full of cliches & unexciting action scenes.
