1.0 out of 5 stars Save Your Money, May 17, 2002

By 

Julie (SAN DIEGO, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Baja California and the Copper Canyon [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Baja California & the Copper Canyon is part of a series put on by the Lonely Planet. I was very disappointed by this movie. Instead of an insiders guide to beautiful Baja California, they send a bumbling englishman, Ian Wright, on a trip to Baja. He seems reluctant to be there in the first place and seems to only be doing this trip to fullfill his contract with the Lonely Planet executives. He mispronouces most of the spanish words, and seems to be hung over during the majority of his trip. He's only half interested in meeting the people of Baja and learning about their customs and history. The video cover says the tape runs 44 minutes, but the last 15 or so minutes is the Lonely Planet peddling their other videos. Save your money!

4.0 out of 5 stars I wanna travel with Ian !, October 5, 2000

This review is from: Baja California and the Copper Canyon [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Different than most travel videos, this is a lively travel experience, focusing on things that I would actually do on vacation. Very adventurous, not pretentious. How Ian gets himself in some of the situations he does is particularly admirable.
