Description
The tropical sights and sounds of Mexico's Pacific coast come alive in this captivating comedy-drama filmed in the isolated seaside village of Yelapa. Join a group of offbeat travelers as they hunt for romantic adventure, hidden cash, a mysterious father, and Carlos Castaneda's legendary shaman, "Don Juan." Personal secrets are revealed and lives forever changed as the travelers fall into dramatic and often hilarious confrontations with Mexican villagers, North American expatriates, jungle wildlife —and each other! Filmed near the legendary beach from Huston's "Night of the Iguana," WHICH WAY POR FAVOR? features an original soundtrack of Latin pop-rock, Cuban-style mambos and Mexican ranchera favorites like "Por Un Amor" — with special performances by members of Tito Puente, The David Grisman Band, The Robert Cray Band, Van Morrison and the Grammy-winning CARLOS SANTANA band.

 Great Music and Scenery April 8, 2007
This was a cute little movie. I really enjoyed the eclectic mix of characters and personalities. I have never laughed so hard as I did at the very last scene...and the maid's comment was priceless! If you like offbeat movies with great scenery and cool music then this is the flick for you. Crack open a Corona, sit back and just enjoy the Mexican vibe.
A Lot of Heart! September 7, 2005
This is a sweet little movie. Proof that a small budget film can be very big on heart and soul. Great scenic footage of coastal Mexico and an appealing cast of eccentric young travelers who discover a few snakes in their tropical garden (so to speak). What I liked most is the storyline: It's both accessible and and fun -- yet also daring enough to be intimate, funny and touching in unexpected ways.

As a longtime visitor to Yelapa, Mexico I'm probably a little biased, but I've watched with plenty of people who've never been there and everyone agrees this film is a real treat. From the hilarious plot of a kid on a spritual journey to the stories of romance and family -- the movie charms in unexpected ways. Then there's the beautiful way it captures the richness of the place -- everything from the pueblo to the beach to the dogs that live on the beach. The guest spots by locals, including our friends Freddy Glumaz, Isabel Jordan and Philippo Lo Grande are an added bonus.
 Don't waste your time April 19, 2005

This was a terrible movie and makes me wonder about the review policy for amazon.com. I find it hard to believe it could be rated at 4.5 stars. I spent some time in Yelapa and loved it. It is a beautiful village full of lovely people and amazing scenery. I had no idea there was a Yelapa movie and was excited since the reviews noted, "Characters played by many of the locals" Phillipo lo Grande had a bit part as a swindler and a guy trying get it on with the main character's girlfriend. It was sad because he is an extremely talented artist whose paintings are all over the world, yet that wasn't even mentioned. The movie could have been good, but it was like any other trashy B movie, the plot revolved around an engaged girl who couldn't control having sex with anyone she met when drunk and another girl who was begging her dad for money the entire time. In the end the couple pooped in front of each other, which I guess is supposed to be either romantic or funny, I thought it was sick. How about some sunsets, or shedding some light on the local expat scene, or maybe the jungle, but none of those things are in this movie. Waste of time! Worst movie I have seen in years.
real people and beautiful shots of Mexico February 2, 2004

This movie has a natural exuberance distinctly not the result of
big stars or fast-action or urban glam. Two other things I liked about this movie:the characters are real people, not fantasy Hollywood people. Its refreshing to see a movie in which the actors are not big professionals with big Hollywood personas. They do a better job of acting real ordinary people with ordinary and flawed personalities like the rest of us. I also liked it because the occasional interspersing of nature shots, mexican wildlife, gila monsters, lizards was so interesting and
tastefully done. The music was also first class and matched the
story and pace perfectly.
