¿Y Tú, Cuánto Cuestas? (So, what's your price?), it seems to be the constant over this excellent documentary work, performed by Olallo Rubio, a young Mexican director. The movie shows two faces of the same issue: the American influence in the Mexican culture. you will remain thinking after the movie ends. Everything has a price? Everybody has a price?, so, What's your price?. Strong and ancient differences between two distant-neighbor countries are discussed under each opinion. Both Mexican and American-common persons give its particular point of view about the other, but also about themselves. Developed with a extremely low budget, but with inventive and imagination, this movie shows many of the key aspects in the Mexican-American relationship. However, the movie is not just a compilation of statistics, the producers manage to make it fun too. That's one of it's good points. But never the only one. Well developed, absolutely recommendable.

Plot

I don't know why people like this, sure the topic is good, but the way to show it is really bad; some interviews with random people, all from one social class, without even asking some specialists or needy people, with some statistics about both countries, but without any conclusion. Some parodies about human cloning, illegal immigrants, price of your organs and so on. Don't misunderstand me, the idea is good, but a great theme, some interviews and statistics don't make a good movie.The movie shows correctly the differences between Mexicans and us people, but fails at managing this in a proper order.Like i said, Great topic, poor presentation.
