a day without a mexican uberkewlie parody on whatifs. i saw it on DVD with distractions all over me - mother yelling to tone it down, pizza, high winds rattling my house's age-old windows. this movie demands a dark theater (if it will help you tune out everything else, ahaha) and all your attention, else most of the jokes escape you. the short film version might be more effective, because there are only so many answers you can come up with 'what if one day all the mexicans disappeared?'

still, because lila rodriguez, a lead character, said '208 margarita street is where i learned how to share my toys... pick up after myself... my heart is mexican,' everyone must see it.
