A Day Without a Mexican (2004)

The latinos in California disappear and the white buffoons left behind have no idea how to deal with it. No one's collecting the trash, washing cars, picking oranges and on and on. Oh, and the state's surrounded by a weird fog that no one's willing to pass through (whatever) and that cuts off communication from the rest of the world (um, yeah). There are some good ideas -- religious zealots believe this is the rapture, conspiracy theorists believe that the latinos are called "aliens" for good reason -- but those are just a couple of one-offs that go nowhere.

It's basically a one- (unfunny) joke movie. The "day" sans Mexicans actually goes on for at least a week...and the movie seems to as well.
