For all of its flaws and shortcomings, Tortilla Heaven can't help but be charming and undeniably entertaining.

Tortilla Heaven is a consistently engaging motion picture, made with obvious love for the isolated location and for the spirit of a supportive community.

A well-meaning and hard-fought project that begins as a wacky small-town fable and veers disastrously into a leaden satire of religion and capitalism.

The film and its makers simply try too hard. Director and co-writer Judy Hecht Dumontet can't stop 'helping' with overactive editing and scoring.

Like a piece of fast food: it's simple and painless - even tasty at times - but it's not overly nutritious.
