Review of Bandidas (2009) by Mel J — 28 Dec 2007
Cute bit of PG-13 fluff about two Mexican women who decide to become bank robbers and exact revenge on the greedy bankers and their henchmen who destroyed their community and families and grabbed their lands.
Salma Hayek and Penelope Cruz play the feisty, old west bandidas in their usual styles. Steve Zahn was cute as the hapless investigator that the bandidas kidnap and practice kissing on. Dwight Yoakam had a good part as a creepy bad guy, and look for a bit part by Sam Shepard as an ole outlaw who teaches them a thing or two.
A family comedy- western, a-la Maverick and Shanghai Noon, with girl power and a good soundtrack.
