Movie ReviewsSuper entertaining! Gus Abbona | los angeles, ca | 10/29/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "I totally LOVED the movie, it's surprising, adventurous, smart, deep, and very funny! not the kind of cookie cutter american romantic comedie, in one word: brilliant!" Don't Try to Cross A Diva John F. Rooney | 11/15/2009 (4 out of 5 stars) "In "Casi Divas" ("Almost Divas" "Road to Fame") (2009) Eva is a real diva, a star, whom her producer/lover, Alejandro, wants to replace with a younger woman. Over Eva's dead body! Hundreds of young women in this Mexican, Spanish-language film vie in a contest to be the star of the producer's next blockbuster.
Eva does everything including devious things to blackmail Alejandro into keeping her as his leading diva and his lover. She's a force to be reckoned with. The movie concentrates on four young women, different types from different backgrounds. One comes from an upper class family, one from a gaggle of misfits, one Francisca (Maya Zapata) from a poor family in Oaxaca with Indian roots. The fourth is a factory worker from Juarez. The rivalry among the girls becomes fierce. A national TV show is used to run the contest, and viewers vote for their choices. A sub-plot concerns a serial killer who is stalking and killing young women. This only seems to hit home at the end of the film. The movie at times seems like a soap opera, has some social commentary, and has a real surprise. When the contest is going on, you may feel as if you have traveled this road before. " |
