Latinas Watch This Movie
I am a white male, and was not offended one bit. This movie is not racist, but a very accurate sescription of what Mexican women are like. I am friends with many Mexican ladies, and by God, put them together, and You have Luminarias. This movie is funny, touching, and very true to life. All the actors are great. Scott Bakula, Cheech Marin play their roles to perfection. The real stars are the ladies. Hats off toa wonderful movie. Everyone should see this movie.
A gem of a movie!
I absolutely loved the writing and the performances in this movie. Not a stereotype to be found anywhere. Evelina Fernandez' writing is flawless and so is the casting. Above all, I've never seen a better representation of Latina women on film. Did I mention the writing? Evelina Fernandez knows how to set up a situation like a fast ball pitcher who suddenly throws you a breaking curve. I won't give anything away but Cheech Marin and Sal Lopez are great in secondary roles that are gems and Robert Beltran and a surprising Scott Bakula are supurb as the lead male characters. But I couldn't take my eyes off Evelina when she's on screen. Lovely and disarmingly seductive, I had no idea she was the writer until the credits rolled. She's supported by a great cast of female actors including Marta DuBois, Dyana Ortelli, Lupe Ontiveros and Angela Moya who shine. This is the kind of film you'll love showing to someone for the first time.
