"This is a film from Argentina that is very appealing to teens. It's about 5 girls who meet up and form a band. As I understand it, the 5 girls were actual contestants in an Idol type reality show that brought people together and put them into bands. I don't believe their band is still together now, but the girls do have good voices and go together well. Here is the website about the movie. http://www.terra.com.ar/especiales/vivirintentando/ This is NOT about the reality show or their true story, but is merely a movie about how fate brought five girls together to form a band.



There are several gags running through from one girl who is constantly getting splashed by cars going by to a huge dog that terrorizes the local Chinese delivery man.



I'm a high school Spanish teacher and my high school girls LOVE this movie to the point where several begged me to buy it from Amazon so they could buy it from me. It's not a real deep movie, but it's light-hearted and fun, with clean teen humor. There are only a couple of bad words in the subtitles in one place. I've watched it several times (many different classes watched it during the day) and I still think it's fun to watch."

Wonderful for Spanish classes!

"A great movie for teenagers. It has all the elements that appeal to teenagers: cool songs, piercings & spiky hair, dance, problems, dreams come true. Despite the cover, it uses real people, not caricatures. There is nothing objectionable in the movie that would make it inappropriate for a general audience. The only drawback is that the English subtitles cannot be turned off. To resolve this issue, tape a long 4"strip of paper across the bottom of the TV screen. (If you are lucky enough to have the equipment to show it on a larger screen, your paper will have to be bigger.)"

High school kids love it

"This was a great movie. My grandchildren really enjoyed it even though they don't understand spanish. Thanks to the english translation that they read at the bottom. It was a descent movie without all the cursing and violence."
