After a painful breakup when it turned out that her partner was certainly not thinking about marriage, Ana (Cassandra Ciangherotti) is encouraged to join a class intended to help women find a husband. These women's lives seem to be ridiculously focused on marriage, but maybe that is true of some people.

Ana is very much the centre of the movie. She starts out gawky, 2-dimensional, self-centered, and maybe a little bit over-acted, but as she works her way through men and makeovers, on her voyage of self-discovery, some things gradually improve. Yet for the early part of the movie and quite a long way through, Ana's character is hard to take and it's even harder to feel any sympathy for her.

The film has several female characters of the same physical type, with similar hair and colouring. This might be partly my weakness, but at times - especially with the makeovers, I lost track of who was who. I watched the English dubbed version, curtesy of Netflix. I think that dubbing has improved quite significantly over the last few years, perhaps as the technology has helped a little. But it still does make for a little detachment from the characters which is a shame.

This certainly isn't a great movie, but maybe good for a wet Sunday afternoon on the sofa. 6/10.

THIS MOVIE MADE ME SHOUT OUT LOUD, DANCE, SCREAM IN FRUSTRATION, AND AT THE END I WAS SINGING ALONG WITH THE WOMEN, THE GREAT LYRICS TO "A QUIÉN LE IMPORTA"!!! Honestly, I don't understand why there's such a low average rating. Maybe it has to do with the cultural barrier that's built in to this type of movie. As someone who is "MexicoAmericana", (like the song by La Santa Cecilia),I completely get the movie. Whenever I was in Mexico, whether for school or to visit, the only important thing appeared to be the possibility of my marriage. This movie hits all the pressure points that a woman faces. Especially in a culture where at 30 you are considered left on shelf. Watch it, and you can enjoy it beyond expectations, if you remember that not every culture is American.

I really enjoyed this movie, the main actress is really funny and I think she conveys the character's feelings and internal turmoil pretty well. The point of the whole movie is that she discovers herself rather than the perfect husband in the end, which is why she starts out as a little self centered but ends up being truly able to feel happy for her friend's marriage, even though her own attempt failed or to actually listen to her sister's problems. I think people who disliked the movie and say the ACTRESS (and not the character) is awkward and selfish are used to cheesy american rom-coms and totally missed the main idea.
