Runaway Divas

The somewhat dark reality that even if you want something bad enough & give your all sometimes you don't get it........or do they? The cast including the films creators all developed & portrayed unique believable characters including the sometimes "peyote-ESE" invoked Guiseppe Vilentee , the "dreamy" eccentric fashion designer. Cupcake exemplified the typical gum smacking clerical type self perceived as fashion expert in every office. Vince , the smart , shrewd, dark...somewhat slimy business type "evil' influence" of the movie finally after years building his company on crushed dreams of struggling young models finally got his....& took his beating well. Adam , Miriams big brother & guardian type was perhaps the most believable character. Adam a simple "average Joe" mail carrier struggles to play "provider/caregiver" & big brother to his mentally challenged "Slow" sister Miriam who like every little girl has a dream....to be a star. Trying to protect Miriam , Adam falls in love with the modeling agency's lovely make up artist Marcy. Marcy is torn between the somewhat established , no longer new bee status within her business , the darker dealings & business reality or the sweet ,innocent virgin lamb , brought to slaughter that is Miriam. Miriam, was the movies little darling , the kid everyone roots for & in the end fails.............or did she?

Not a lot of peaks & valleys , the film consistently holds interest & overall has to be considered utterly splendid.

This movie was very entertaining and funny. I would recommend it to all my girlfriends. My favorite part was when the male models had their photo shoot in the alley. Especially the gym shoes, SEXY! I know way too many people who can relate to this movie, which is a sad. There are just too many people hung up on their looks in this society. This movie shows us all the extremes people are willing to go through to make others see them as "beautiful." In most cases, money is hardly an issue if it can promise desirability and love. The movie is colorful and fun, which makes it much more interesting to watch them most independent films. Runaway Divas is a movie I would watch more than once and I hope to see more independent films like this.

I enjoyed every minute of it. Great cast, beautiful colors.

I was very impressed with the quality. Very touching, made me cry and laugh at the same time.

The story focuses on Miriam, an overly ambitious mentally challenged accordion player, who more than anything in the world wants to be a model. She signs with a neighborhood modeling agency owned by a scam artist who recruits clients by selling the idea that anyone can be a model. I would recommend for anyone to see it especially young people who ever considered working in the modeling industry. It is an eye opener.

Runway Divas is an absolutely terrific film. If you're thinking of watching a great film with a million laughes and with actors that were cast so perfectly to their on-screen characters, that you feel you've known them before, then this is a "Must See" comedy for you. This film appeals to every type of comedic enthusiast. The name strikes you with mystery until the first ten minutes of the film which really reaches out and grabs you and keeps you enthralled till the end. This unique comedy was so cleverly manufactured with a terrific story-line and with a talented array of characters that'll have you laughing till your stomach hurts. I would highly rate this cleverly adapted comedy with no less than an A Rating

It is a touching independent film about friendship, obsession with beauty, self esteem, and dreams.

Miriam a thirty year old mentally challenged girl dreams of becoming a model. She gets accepted into a modeling agency where for $549 dollars anyone can be a model. The agency is run by Vince, the sleazy owner and his assistant Marcy, who is naive and believes that one day Vince will make her famous. The film focuses on the relationship between Marcy and Miriam. Since it is based on a true story I think anyone who ever paid or plans to pay for any kind of modeling job or photos should see this film. It will make you think twice before you sign up with any of those agencies. Great film to rent if you have a teenager at home.
