Boston GlobeLoren KingApr 28, 2011
Neither the comedy nor the romance is strong enough in Immigration Tango to offer any improvement on Peter Weir's similar, and better, 1990 film "Green Card." Read full review

VarietyRonnie ScheibFeb 18, 2011
Though the actors don't flesh out or particularly fit their roles, they seem perfectly at ease with them and with each other. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckFeb 18, 2011
Squanders its timely illegal alien theme with a predictable and unconvincing story line that makes "Green Card" seem a classic by comparison. Read full review

New York PostLou LumenickFeb 18, 2011
A labored romantic farce whose only asset is Carlos Leon, best known as the father of Madonna's daughter Lourdes. Read full review

Miami HeraldRene RodriguezFeb 16, 2011
This excruciatingly dumb, formulaic picture, which somehow required the work of four screenwriters but contains not even one single, fleeting moment of wit or humor. Read full review
