I'm just kidding about the title, but it is kind of true despite the fact that this movie is mostly starring Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz.

I quite enjoy drug-smuggling movies, especially if they are based on real-life events and this is one of the biographical ones that according to the people closest to the facts, is about 70% accurate, and that is good enough for me. Johnny Depp plays the lead role of George Jung and it is breifly explained that he grew up poor and by virtue of meeting the right (or wrong, depending on your perspective) people he becomes involved in low-level drug smuggling of weed and eventually becomes one of the highest level cocaine smugglers in the world, reporting directly to none other than Pablo Escobar.

The story is told in a very human type way, showing George as being far more interested in his friendships and family and well, i think that Mirtha Jung (played by the always stunning Penelope Cruz) is presented in a less-than-friendly light. You be the judge.

One of the main things I like about it is that Paul Reubens (Pee Wee Herman) actually is in the film for quite a time and does an amazing job. I really feel like Paul got a raw deal back in the 80's / 90's and was refreshing to see him working on big budget movies again.

This movie was a minor box office success, but I don't think studios get terribly excited about Depp films that make a mere $40 million.

I can't really classify this as "must see" but if you enjoy drug films (I tend to) and you feel bad for Paul Reubens, then yes, watch this. The fact that it is biographical makes it even more enjoyable.
