RATING: PG-13 for mature sexual content, language and thematic material
Starring Patricia Llaca, Julio Bracho, Maya Zapata, Ana Layevska, Daniela Schmidt, Diana Garcia, Mónica Huarte, and Darío T. Pie
Four ambitious and beautiful young women. From four very different worlds. Just like hundreds of others, they are caught up in the frenzy that sweeps the nation when Alejandro Mateos, one of the country's most powerful producers, dreams up a nationwide talent search to cast the lead in his next big movie. But all this is news to Alejandro's on-again, off-again lover, Eva Gallardo, a diva of epic proportions, who expected to get the part. While Eva schemes to nail down the role, our four leads begin their own journey on the road to fame. (Sony Pictures Releasing)

Variety Ronnie Scheib
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.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
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.
Read Full Review >The Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt
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.
Read Full Review >NPR Ian Buckwalter
The "casi" in Casi Divas translates to "almost," and it's an appropriate word for the film as a whole.
Read Full Review >Miami Herald Rene Rodriguez
A shrill and gaudy comedy about the quest for celebrity.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Jeannette Catsoulis
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.
Read Full Review >Village Voice Nick Pinkerton
A none-too-clever but hustling-to-please Mexican comedy.
Read Full Review >Time Out New York Monika Fabian
In using the urban poor and the queer community as punch lines, Casi Divas ultimately succumbs to its own criticism.

Jay H. gave it a4:
I found the production to be below par, the acting too extreme and the story too silly and melodramatic. The score is dreadful. It’s predictable and has a very amateur look to it. I didn’t find it very interesting.
totto gave it a10:
An original story of 4 different girls with a same goal, who will be the next Diva in the new "Novela" ?...it is pretty funny and you should go to see it.
