'Under the Same Moon' Feels Syntheticnew
The recent surge in Mexican-made films on both sides of the U.S. border has had mostly positive results, but I suppose we were due to see a downside at some point. This relentlessly goopy kid-in-jeopardy film is that downside, unless you were yearning for a Spanish-language version of last winter's August Rush.
