Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Paul Andrews Tequila Body Shots starts in Los Angeles where Johnny (Joseph Lawrence) tells his two best friends, Al (Josh Marchette) & Paul (Nathan Anderson), that he has been invited to a Halloween party in Mexico by someone named Hector (Rene L. Moreno). The three friends decide to go & set off but Al & Paul become very sick on the journey, Johnny seeks help & meets Doc (Henry Darrow) who manages to cure Al & Paul with a couple of tequila body shots. The friends give Doc a lift into town & before they part company Doc gives Johnny a bottle of tequila of his own which gives Johnny the power to read women's thoughts. As Johnny, Al & Paul party the day away they meet three girls, Tamlyn (Dru Mouser), Angela (Jennifer Lyons) & Linda (Senta Moses). Johnny & Tamlyn seem to like each other but the mysterious Hector just won't seem to go away, from threatening voices to eerie hallucinations there seems to be something sinister going on...Written, co-produced & directed by Tony Shyu I have mixed feelings about Tequila Body Shots. The script is unique & has at least some originality about it but that's simply not enough when the whole concept & execution is so bad. For a start the film drags painfully in parts & most of it seems to be shots of annoying teenagers standing around drinking & cracking extremely unfunny jokes. The plot is bizarre, it contains magical tequila, hallucinations, ghosts, mind reading, reincarnation, possession, prophecies, a strange spirit world with the grim reaper, Nazi looking ghosts & a for good measure a few lame fart jokes. None of these elements come together that well & I'm not even sure what type of film Tequila Body Shots is supposed to be, is it a comedy? A horror? A buddy-buddy road film? An adventure film? It's a very hard film to categorise, it's something a bit different & the filmmakers must at least get some credit for trying something unusual but unfortunately that just didn't stop me from thinking that at the end of the day I had just wasted 90 plus odd minutes of my life watching total crap. The character's got on my nerves to start with but they sort of grew on me & I ended up quite liking them, also I couldn't but help think that if Doc knew what was going to happen why didn't he just stop Johnny & his friends going to the party in the first place & prevent the whole sorry situation?Tequila Body Shots is, at this point in time, the one & only film that director Shyu has worked on. I have to give him some credit as it's certainly colourful & has a garish look to it although all the Mexican stereotypical clichés come out like innuendo about sheep, everyone seems to wear sombreros & that all Mexican jails are full of gays... The film jumps into some sort of spirit world towards the end & it's all filmed in a blueish tone & it looks awful, the grim reaper ends up rowing what looks like a wooden box! There are no scares, atmosphere & the jokes are really unfunny. Forget about any blood or gore as not one single drop of blood is spilt during it's duration.Technically the film varies, some of it looks nice & colourful while at other times it's one of the cheapest, nastiest & most idiotic films ever. The acting ranges from OK to utterly awful especially Robert Patrick Benedict as Ted who is highly irritating whenever on screen.Tequila Body Shots is an unusual film to be sure, I don't think I've ever seen another film like it but as I've already said that's not enough to save it from being really crap. A bit of a mess & not worth wasting your time on in my opinion.

timu59 A great readaptation of the old Greek myth of Orpheus set in contemporary time. This movie has all the elements of a great story, love, death, reincarnation, spiritualism, and of course, just plain fun. The actors are well cast and they interact great. The DVD has extra discussions with the cast, crew, and director. It is a great movie especially for the Halloween season.

WhiteTigerPat OK this movie is comming to DVD on Sep. 25th 2001! I can't wait till that date! This movie is really funny at times and just plain old silly. It's a start for the really talented Joey Lawrence(Johnny Orpheus). It's a not stop party atmosphere and it's get better as the silly plot goes on. The real snand out in this movie is Nathan Anderson(Paul). He is so funny and his other buddy Josh Marchette(Al) has some funny lines also. If you do pick this video up it's a great rent and to own. I really loved it and also Tony Shuy who directed it has a real future in movies if he wants too. The plot is just about 3 guys and 3 women who are invited to the party of the century in Mexico and Johnny takes a tequila body shot and all of a sudden he can see andknow what women want(In there minds). It's pretty coiol and all Johhny want's is a pretty girl named Dru Mouser(Tamlyn), who has the same gifts. The suppoting cast is fresh and funny and sexy! So just pick up this great film that has parties and girls and just plain old fashion fun! It's a weird movie but I liked it. Out of 4 stars I give it 3 1/2. Buy it.

Angela L I kind of wondered why this movie currently has 9 votes (not including mine). but anyway, my comment:It's actually pretty good. College or so guys, college or so girls off to Mexico to find themselves trap in a reincarnation of people who lived in the 1920s. Two people who can hear voices of dead guys who lived years and years ago. And of course, a twist. And body shots (lemon, tequila, salt etc.) were used to revive the person "in between life and death". Intrigued? You have to see it for yourself. It's a good movie.
