Customer Reviews

Latina version of Waiting To Exhale
I saw the movie when it premiered years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. I bought several copies of the movie for gifts for girlfriends & my daughters. The movie touches on so many issues faced by Latinas and I especially liked that the characters were portrayed as dynamic, educated women who held tight to their cultural roots. The movie invokes laughter, is thought provoking and quite entertaining!

Thoroughly enjoyable
I purchased this movie for my niece, a Robert Beltran fan, and, despite not normally liking this sort of movie, fell in love. This movie is not just for Latinos it is for everyone. It shows how alike humans really are regardless of ethnicity, religion and, to some extent, up bringing. The special features, especially the director's commentary, are a real bonus and well worth watching.

Luminarias
Great chick flick, but some men would also enjoy it. Being Hispanic, I can totally relate to the characters, but you don't have to be Hispanic to enjoy it. I've watched it twice already and also bought one as a gift.
