Rating: 3/4 --
The movie sometimes bends the plausible to set up a laugh, and most of the time I didn't care, because I was enjoying the company of the characters.

Chicago Sun-Times
...[Huston gives] a sublime performance...
Sight and Sound
With non-Hispanic principal actors and Indian-born Mira Nair directing, this garish romance is a bit of an ethnic pot-pourri, but it's not quite as annoying as it sounds. Huston, in particular, gives it a touch of genuine class.

Daily Telegraph (UK)
Rating: 3/4 --
Sensuous and lush with a hint of Allende's magical realism in the bleeding of a man's broken heart and a string of rose petals trailing a line along the belly of a new lover.

Film Freak Central
...[Tomei] now emerges as earthier and juicier. Anjelica Huston brings some sort of the same conflicting passions to this role she had in PRIZZI'S HONOR...
Chicago Sun-Times
An enormously likable ensemble....Tomei is a spunky, attractive performer who has the audience on her side...
Variety
Rating: C+ --
Mira Nair's consistent exploration of the search for home is admirable, but her movie is burdened by an unconvincing ensemble that's unable to elevate the serio-comic exploration of Cuban immigrants into a poignant tale.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Free-spirited Dottie Perez (Marisa Tomei) is leaving Cuba for America, her head filled with dreams of movies, mascara and dates with John Wayne. Straight-laced Juan Perez (Alfred Molina) is headed for a reunion with the wife (Anjelica Huston) and daughter (Trini Alvarado) he hasn't seen in twenty years. But when an overworked immigration official mistakes Dottie and Juan for husband and wife, the stage is set for a marital mix-up and some very unpredictable romances.
Product Description:
A vivacious Cuban girl looking for freedom in America and a conservative family man returning to his wife after 20 years are mistaken for husband and wife by immigration officers, leading to an accidental love triangle with hilarious consequences. Set in Miami's Little Havana.
