Goofs:

Continuity: When Maria and Quentin are walking towards a bank in wedding attire, Maria says to the horse "You know what you have to do" and the horse is clearly seen turning around and walking away from them. A few seconds later, when Quentin says "OK, here we are" the horse is again walking behind them. In the following shot of Maria and Quentin walking, the horse is not there.

Quotes:

Tyler Jackson: Always count your bullets, senoritas

Simply put, not a great film...

...but come on, did you really expect it to be? This movie is what it is: an action comedy (in the loosest sense of the word "action") about two hot Hispanic chicks robbing banks together. It's PG-13, so there's not going to be any real heavy subjects tackled (and sadly, Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek don't do anything more than shake hands). You have to go into a movie like this with a certain level of suspension of disbelief. Every single Mexican speaks perfect English (yes, even the farmers), Cruz and Hayek pull off a couple near-Matrix-level stunts, and there are other implausibilities.

Even so, occasionally this movie is funny, and though it's bogged down by the usual clichés, there's a mild surprise or two in there as well. This is lazy, rainy Sunday afternoon kind of movie. I wouldn't buy a ticket to see it in theaters or purchase the DVD, but if you have a friend who's renting it or a free pass to the movies, you could see a lot of worse movies.
