A comedy with just the right blend of satire, social comment, myriad complications, romance and heart-tugging to give it some deft shading and variety.
By Kevin Thomas FULL REVIEW
80
Gloriously flamboyant comedic extravaganza, fuses soap opera and "American Idol"-type competition, following four wildly different women vying for the star role in a feature filmization of a popular telenovela.
By Ronnie Scheib FULL REVIEW
70
An enjoyable spoof of Mexican soap operas and the entertainment business itself. The film doesn't ask to be taken seriously but if you absolutely insist, there is pointed commentary about the deep divisions within that society over skin color, gender politics and social backgrounds.
By Kirk Honeycutt FULL REVIEW
50
As the film picks up speed it also accrues a socially progressive agenda. If only this were half as well developed as the female leads.
By Jeannette Catsoulis FULL REVIEW

By Rene Rodriguez FULL REVIEW
