The hot Salma Hayek and lovely Penelope Cruz star in this action-adventure flick. Interestingly enough, we see Hayek as the sophisticated intellectual lady (while she's more known for her on screen tough streetgirl image) and Cruz as the tough farmer girl (while contrastingly she's more popular for her sophisticated lady image roles). Both actresses do a fine job, providing us loads of laughter. Their off-screen friendship reflects their moments on screen and both actresses must have had a blast during the making of 'Bandidas'. 'Bandidas' itself is a typical action-adventure-western comedy flick with some wonderful cinematography that guides us through beautiful landscapes (with two beautiful women). The background score nicely contributes. Sheperd and Zahn provide further comic support. Yoakam is the weak link as he's just not convincing and pretty wooden. Some of the funniest scenes include the cat-fight, the training scenes, the ways Maria and Sara dis each other. Some dialogues are just laugh out loud. the screenplay could have included some more interesting moments as it does tend to drag at some point. As a guy, I really enjoyed 'Bandidas' but I don't see why women shouldn't enjoy it ;)
