Scott Marks San Diego Reader 04/13/2018
1/5
The cast is appealing, the location work in Baja is ridiculously colorful, and if you don't go in expecting too much, you won't be disappointed. Go to Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 04/12/2018
The scenery's pleasant and the actors are mostly likable. If "Baja" had been made in the '60s, it would have some kitsch appeal. It's easy watching, for anyone who needs a little mind-vacation. Go to Full Review David Lewis San Francisco Chronicle 04/10/2018
1/4
Vidal doesn't sufficiently mine the buddy dynamic. He's more interested in the romantic side of things, which would have been fine if his female characters weren't so boring and one-dimensional. Go to Full Review Bobby LePire Film Threat 04/30/2018
B
Baja doesn't have the most original plot nor an overarching style. But the characters are really likable, the actors' chemistry is off the charts, and the cordial ambiance invites the viewer to lay back and have a good time. Go to Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall 04/18/2018
2/5
The filmmaking is simplistic and the storytelling is often flat-out stupid, so it's never particularly involving. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
