    Gang life in L.A.

    Hi my name is Shanita and I just want to give you all a brief summary about a movie called Mi Vida Loca.This movie is about two girls who grew up together and was really good best friends,they even got jumped in the Ecko Park gang at the same time.When the girls got older one of them was in the hospital given birth to her baby, and when she came back home she had found out her best friend had got pregnant by her baby's father.That start a big disagreement between the two girls,so they had planned a day to meet each other so that they could fight.They were so scared of each other that they told their baby's by in away that seemed like good bye forever. Once they had met up to fight they were so scared that they were going to kill each other but they didn't and this story goes on and on but I think you should watch it. I think this was a very good movie that all teens especially should see it really gives you a wake up call on life period.

    A movie about gangs and drugs.

    I am a high school student at Arts Of Living School. I liked this movie. It was about gangs,drugs,guns and murder. two girls named mousie and sad girl were best friends, until they let a boy break up their relationship. Once they realized that their relationship was more important than a boy, they were best friends again. this movie was worth watching,and I liked it.

    Very hard girls

    I'm a big fan of cheap movies, and again I'm shown an excellent example here of intelligent shoe-string filmmaking.

    The story revolves around the hispanic girl gang of Echo Park, while there is no story as such, the floating viewpoint takes in the mindsets of all the characters and gives a kind of overview of what it's like to live your life to the strict rules of gang culture.

    Some of the women look very hard indeed, and I found out later a few are actual gang members. Very impressive. Watch out for cameos by a young Spike Jonze and Jason Lee. That's a footnote though, the film is enjoyable, the medium pace never stretches your patience and the performances are very good.

    Themes of retribution, faith, friendship and loyalty are the main talking points, but I'd recommend this film to anyone with a slight interest in gang culture and in this case, female gangs.

    True Enough

    It is so much like the world I grew up in during my high school years that there isn't a character in the movie I can't identify with. Everytime I watch it, it's like I'm watching a home video of me and my old friends....

    Mi Vida Girls

    Excellent movie.

    This is the birth of hood-rats and the choices to make. "Why you gotta be like this?"

    Really? That's the guy and life you want to follow? It's sad cases that you can see happens in real life as well.

    Visions of hope and the tragedy mixed in you can see coming a mile away. They think they're the "baddest" girls around, they fight each other, their boyfriends, rivals and just life in general.

    It's another world that lives beneath, the urban lifestyle trapping the girls in a place that most people would never want to live in.

    • Quotes

      Sad Girl: When Mousie and me joined our gang, all the names were taken except Mousie and Sad Girl. Everyone said Maribel should be Mousie cuz she was so little. Sleepy said "No stupid because then we're gonna have to name Mona Sad Girl and she's not sad at all." Rascal said "Stupid , it don't matter." Sleepy was mad and kept saying "She's too happy to be Sad Girl."
