Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts, The Mexican
布拉德皮特 和朱莉娅罗伯茨，《墨西哥人》
Pitt and Roberts had their eyes on a co-starring project for some time -- and they wanted to work together badly enough that they eventually settled on The Mexican, an erstwhile indie project whose script didn't even call for its male and female leads to spend much time together. The result was a curiously disjointed film, badly mismarketed as a Pitt/Roberts romantic comedy, whose $147 million box office take wasn't enough to keep it from feeling like one of 2001's more unexpected disappointments. Christopher Smith of the Bangor Daily News spoke for the majority of critics when he queried, "Habla usted mediocre movie?"
皮特和罗伯茨希望共同合作由来已久。在电影《墨西哥人》中，他们的夙愿终于如愿以偿。《墨西哥人》是一部曾经的独立电影，它的剧本并没有给男女演员很多对手戏的机会。然而结果是，这部剧情错综复杂的电影被错误地当作了皮特和罗伯茨的浪漫喜剧发行。该片的147，000，000美元的票房收入使其成为2001年度最出人意料的失望之作。《班戈每日新闻》的克里斯托弗史密斯的怀疑道出了多数影评人的心声：“你说这是平庸之作？”
