Very entertaining. Captivating and educational, 5 January 2006
10/10
Author: rmarsett

America 101 is a film that entertains with smart comedy. I applaud the writers and director for successfully accomplishing the daunting task of providing educational material about the all to serious problem with border crossing in the southwest United States. They use comedy as the vehicle to keep the attention of the viewers during the entire film. The severity of the problem is not lost, but rather presented in the comedy of the film. The writing was great,and the cinematography was absolutely astounding. The film has a great flow and leaves the viewer with a good feeling at the end. Highly entertaining film, and I would recommend this film to people of all ages and backgrounds.
