    This is one reason why I don't like Rotten Tomatoes. They reduce reviews down to a binary metric, and IMO that doesn't work for something that is often subjective (like a film).

    You're right, and I love the idea of Guzman as Gomez. It seems truer to the original source material than the TV sitcom with John Astin (as much as I liked Astin in the role, and in general).
