Product Description

Rodri and Rico are two cousins unalike in every way except for a shared contempt for their parents' values and a deep connection to their free spirited grandfather, Rodrigo. When Rodrigo dies unexpectedly, his yuppie children are more interested in quibbling about their inheritance than in fulfilling his last request. Determined to make things right, Rodri and Roco kidnap their grandfather's ashes and set off for sunny Acapulco in a vintage Mercedes. On the way, they learn about life and friendship and realize that their grandfather was more free-spirited than they could have imagined.

4.0 out of 5 stars Reminds me of my road trip to acapulco!, May 29, 2005
Although I don't consider this a 5 star movie and I could name several mexican films off hand that have better plots and actors; this movie is pretty fun and memorable enough to want to watch it every now and then. Two cousins that don't really get along take a road trip to acapulco to try to get their recently passed away grandfather's ashes into the ocean. They run into romance, trouble, and the movie gives a laughable surprise towards the end. Good movie,,not Oscar material but definitely a movie worthy of your dvd library and one that you will probably want to watch once in a blue moon.

5.0 out of 5 stars review: dust to dust, May 5, 2004
By Emma Spalding (Atlanta, Georgia United States) - See all my reviews
I loved this movie! We watched it in my spanish class, and I had to go home and buy it. The story is wonderful, the acting is amazing, and the music is great. It takes place in mexico, and is about two fighting cousins whom take a road trip to alcapulco to fufill their recently deceasted grand fathers wishes. They enocounter many things along the way and find a common bond. I highly recomend this movie.
