Solteras

Good movie, with good actors and story. I was totally entertained and found this to be a pleasant diversion on a Wednesday night. Latino actors are very accomplished and know how to project well. Loved them all.

After I stopped, I read all the reviews to see if I should keep going, and so some of my comments are prompted by those.

I apologise for not finishing the movie and still writing a review. I know that's not really fair, but I just couldn't take it anymore and when I read the reviews it seems my problem with the movie wasn't going to go away. I would have persevered if the reviews had been different. Especially as my bar for watching was pretty low since I'm practicing my Spanish comprehension and am watching anything halfway decent as an educational exercise.

I don't think I had an issue with the main character and her cohort being marriage-obsessed. I get that some women are, regardless of the culture they're from. I get that some cultures are very marriage-obsessed and the pressure on any woman after she turns 20 or 21 to get married before she becomes unmarriageable and worthless is real. I wasn't conscious that this was an impediment to my enjoyment of the movie. I enjoy a lot of movies from cultures that aren't mine, with viewpoints that aren't mine.

Unlike some other reviewers, I thought the acting was good - very good. The main actor, Cassandra Ciangherotti, did a great job portraying a very real character. She has an element of Kristen Wiig about her - awkward, funny, very mobile and expressive face. She was completely believable as Ana. I'm going to see what else she's in.

The problem was that I hated Ana. I would have found her selfish, fake, narcissistic, unpleasant, and immature had she been 13 years old. For a character who is supposedly in her late 20s, she's unbearable. She's awful to family, friends, everyone -- and refuses to see it. I thought this movie would be about how the shock of a breakup caused real introspection and growth, but 1 hour and 6 minutes into it I saw no evidence this was happening.

Instead of becoming a better and more mature human being, she just kept getting worse. Ana was so bad that the relationship with the good guy she meets is entirely unbelievable - why on earth does he fall in love with her? What can they possibly talk about? They have nothing in common. What does she have to offer any intelligent, adult man (or anyone)? There is nothing to Ana except her self-absorption and obsession with doing anything it takes to get married.

TL;DR - The main character (not the actress) is an awful human being and I feel like her awfulness was cross-cultural.

Hmm...Seems to be getting a bit of a bashing for nonsense like being dubbed, or the character has the wrong name, is unappealing etc...1 star seriously? Well I smell BS!!

The nonsense 'woke' idea is that a woman in the modern world is now = to a man. To portray otherwise means vicious 1 star ratings and reviews online!

The hate and nonsense low ratings for for this movie is without a doubt from the woke crowd. A few of them must have a meme going on twitter, effective where there are only a few reviews like this movie presently, to snuff out these 'anti-feminist' movies of women facing the reality of finding a mate in time and even worse scheme to marry them!

Don't let them put you off!! This is a genuinely funny, warm and touching movie.It honestly got me laughing every few minutes and its been quite a while since a movie did that!

This is almost like a female version of 'School for Scoundrels' (1960) but funnier and more modern! I didn't think anything like this could come from Mexico! Loved it!

This is easily one of the worst movies I've seen. Poorly directed, poorly produced, the argument is lame and the acting is awful. I forced myself to watch it until the end just to see if it would get any better, but and the end was like "really!?!?"

Even though there were entertaining scenes, it was super hard to watch most of the time. The main actress is not like able at all, she is super awkward, needy, annoying and childish, plus painfully selfish... whichled her to make a very cruel decision, just to get what she wanted. The supporting actresses were way more interesting and funny. It's a shame because the main idea was promising... Good actors, location, but they didn't know how to deliver it (in my opinion of course). Also, the end sucked, after having watched the entire film just to at least find out how everything was going to turn out, they don't show us much and ends without much warning...

I am actually frustrated with this movie. Won't be recommending this.
