Reception
editThe film received mostly negative reviews from the few critics who saw the film. It currently has a 9% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.[3] Brian Orndorf from Blu-ray.com wrote a negative review, claiming: "Lebrija wants to make a heartfelt statement on love and passion, but he's picked the wrong subgenre to express his sincerity, leaving "Sundown" uneven and eventually out of gas."[4] Aaron Peterson from The Hollywood Outsider gave the film a positive review, stating: "[Sundown] is a playful film with a strong cast and a bombastic soundtrack. It might not be the best Spring Break comedy ever, but this is a party you don't want to miss."[5]
