This movie is quite simply Sex and the
City with the city being Miami instead of
NY. The characters- the pacing- the situations.
All are comparative in nature to the gals
we are all familiar with.
That is not a bad thing and this film is
unique enough in plot to stand on its own.
But just be aware that the similarities
are almost comical. The biggest difference
of course is the Cuban-American ethnicity
of the main character. She has two best
friends and they pretty much just sit around
and discuss their odd relationships. Sound
familiar?
It does touch on many current female workplace
concerns. The question of family over career
is becoming more and more common on the
screen and reflects the mind set of many
ladder climbing lasses. I also like the
idea that strong, powerful lawyers are no
longer male roles or even white female roles.
It is good to see filmmakers showing diversity
of cultures in their scripts.
This movie will appeal to the Latin culture
and probably even more so than the real
SATC. It will certainly be more relatable.
Guys will find this more than a beating
to watch but for a girls night in or light
fodder over a glass of wine it is probably
worth the rental fee.
This film is unrated and safe for most
red blooded women of any city.
