Bill Goodykoontz
Arizona Republic
Neither the comedy nor the romance is strong enough in "Immigration Tango'' to offer any improvement on Peter Weir's similar, and better, 1990 film "Green Card.''

Loren King
Boston Globe
Immigration Tango is the kind of surreally terrible comedy you'd come across on HBO at three in the morning...in the 1980s.

Chuck Bowen
Slant Magazine
"Immigration Tango" is like a slow-dance with your sister - perfunctory, awkward and without a hint of heat.

February 22, 2011 | Rating: 1/4

Roger Moore
Orlando Sentinel
A minor, sometimes likable romp through miscellaneous narrative clichs, all of them rendered with the snug medium shots and predetermined character arcs that are coin of the realm on the tube.

Amy Biancolli
Houston Chronicle
The stuff of sitcoms. Complications, of course, ensue, but they're exactly the complications you expect, with exactly the results.

Neil Genzlinger
New York Times
A lazy film that inadvertently romanticizes the efforts of immigration enforcement. By the end, you'll be cheering for deportation.

When romantic comedy fails, it is often accompanied by a flatulent fizzle, but this one is already D.O.A.
