Unappealing characters and a dumb story. Skip it.

Audiences seeking mild diversion might prefer approaching it as Lola does her new surroundings: 'The challenge is to find joy in simple things'.

As guilty pleasures go, this is as good as three rum punches on a hot afternoon at a beach bar. It won't do you any good, but hey, it's a lot of fun.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 1, 2006
Behind the curve.
| May 3, 2005
A deliberately mindless action comedy that invites us to lose ourselves, without any PC guilt, in its hedonistic enticements.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 19, 2004
A movie utterly devoid of wit , excitement and any reason for being.
Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Nov 18, 2004
The combo of exotic lady and exotic location fails to distract from varying and unsuccessful attempts to blend romance and comedy with half-hearted heist intrigue.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 16, 2004
Shot in the Bahamas with lots of plugs for the Atlantis resort, After the Sunset looks great but is the cinematic equivalent of empty calories.
Full Review | Nov 15, 2004
Inoffensively asinine.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Nov 14, 2004
Inane and a bit rote.
| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 14, 2004
The film is thin, insipid and unconvincing except when it argues for Salma Hayek's beauty.
| Nov 12, 2004
One of the most lackadaisical Hollywood projects of the year.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 12, 2004
[A] mostly terrible heist comedy.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Nov 12, 2004
After the Sunset is content to take in the sights and ogle the ladies.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 12, 2004
A movie that yearns for the circumstance, wit and integrity of an Elmore Leonard comedic actioner.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Nov 12, 2004
A slick if hyper-predictable comic caper.

When the movie can tear itself away from Lola, it's more of a buddy comedy than a heist film, and a bad one at that.

A feature-length travel destination video about how your next Bahamas getaway will leave you feeling like a millionaire.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 12, 2004
After the Sunset is about as flat-footed a heist caper as I've ever seen: clumsy where it should be graceful, lumpy where it should be sleek.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 12, 2004
The movie floats by like a drunken, mindless afternoon.
