I enjoyed this movie. It was different than I expected. I had hoped to use it with my 8th grade heritage Spanish speakers, but there is A LOT of swearing (which is a hard thing in Spanish, because what one family considers swearing, another may not). There is also a transgender contestant - whereas I liked the element that brought to the movie (a bit deeper than it might have been otherwise), I don't know if my students are ready for this. Which is a shame because I do love how we learn a little bit about 4 different states of Mexico and see not only poverty but also a very rich girl.

I was very surprise with the storyline of the movie. The cover and title do no justice to this movie. Good comedy, exposure to a variety of important topics that affect our society, realistic ending. I recommend it.

Suprisingly good, better than expected. Its funny, sad, deep, and entertaining. I had rented it, I liked it so much that I bought it. I really loved the characters, the indigenous girl from oaxaca who has to deal with racism and discrimination. The girl from juarez who is exploited in a maquiladora, lives in a shanty town, and is seeing her female co workers and friends disappear then found dead and the authorities don't care. The tranny from mexico city, who wants to be a star and loved and accepted as woman, also her family is hilarious. The spoiled rich girl from jalisco, struggling with her weight problems, obssesed with being thin and perfect. I loved them all. I strongly recommend this movie.

This is truly a wonderful movie, kind of misleading by cover. Its actually, while humorous, quite serious with several relevant life messages. The acting, directing and everything just makes for a great film.

What a great surprise this was! Engaging story, some insights into Mexican culture, a good story - don't miss this gem! Thanks to my young adult daughter who recommended it, our family, including teen daughters, really enjoyed this.

I love this movie it's like a comedy/ drama it has a lot of twists and turns It is in spanish and for adults I recommend it
