jmamgmt This Latina based film explores the lives of successful & beautiful women in Miami. These women consistently beat the odds and live their lives to the fullest. As one character finally gets Partner at her law firm, her husband tries to push her into motherhood. Oddly enough, her friends are either mom's or want to be moms, so the story runs true, the gammet of a woman's desire to succeed either as a mother or as a professional. The relationships do remind me of Sex & The City, but in a much more adult, as in "real world" way. I completely enjoyed the subtle interjection of Latino culture and female power throughout. Great cast and locations. It was shot beautifully and directed masterfully with the Veteran eye of Betty Kaplan. Chick flick, yes. For everyone....yes. This film will be enjoyed by any and all, Latino or not. NOT TO BE MISSED!! Great fun!
Paul Magne Haakonsen I watched this movie as it was labeled a "comedy". Somehow I think there was nothing funny about it. It wasn't deep enough to actually be a drama, so somewhere in between drama and comedy; "dramedy"? hahaThe story of the movie was nice though, and you could easily immerse yourself into the roles and plot. However, the movie was very predictable, and as a guy I must say, mostly intended for a female audience. The movie did take up a couple of interesting points and aspects of life situations.The cast was good, although I am fairly unfamiliar with them all, except for Casper Van Dien - whom seemed so out of place wearing a suit and having this role.This movie was sort of a Latina approach to the "Sex and the City" genre. Not a bad movie at all, just not really within my normal range of taste.I think this movie is perhaps best watched together with your special one for a night of romance and quality time together, or for girls to watch on their own. But of course, to each his (or her) own.
bowpeep I loved this movie! The performances by Vanessa Marcil, Tessie Santiago and Jaqueline Pinol absolutely made this movie. I saw it on Lifetime Movie Network by accident and then watched it again for a second time. Lifetime is known for movies that show women in a victim role or running away from somebody or something. This movie was contrary to the normal Lifetime formula. For one, this movie was about 3 Latin women living their lives and the challenges they were facing day to day. But mostly it was about their friendship and support of one another in tough times. This movie was lighthearted and funny, but it also touched on immigration, relationships, feeling like something is missing from your life, betrayal, forgiveness, parenthood and sisterhood in friendship. The characters were real, imperfect and I identified with each one of them. Great movie!!
wingedheartart I love romantic comedies and a good lifetime movie as well. However, this had some SERIOUS potential, but I was disappointed in V.M.'s performance. I liked her in Las Vegas, but she was almost monotone in this movie and her expressions hardly ever changed. She looked and seemed like she felt the same, when happy, pensive, sad, upset, angry....she did raise her voice and have an argument at one point...but she was just monotone in a louder voice. And, not trying to be mean, but she is SO pretty, the man who played her husband just wasn't "it" as far as a match for her. The lover seemed more passionate and well, just plain better in acting and looks. The women who played her best friends were good and the actress playing her married friend with kids, did a great job with emotions and being believable. I just got the feeling that V.M. was reading and was stifling yawns while acting in this. Maybe she'll get her spunk back in the next one. Worth watching....sure, it is good it is a TV movie, it wouldn't have made it on the big screen. I would put the actors names in, but didn't have a chance to write everything down first. Sorry. Not trying to make every one mad.
