Runaway Divas

I didn't think I was going to like this film because it sounded like such a chick flick but I gave it a try and was positively surprised.The story focuses on Miriam, a mentally disabled woman and Marcy, the modeling instructor. You watch this film and you laugh because everybody is so naive and gullible. You're thinking, where do these people come from? And then you are like, wait a minute, didn't I just buy another can of slim fast? What about those diet pills I tried last month, and that personal trainer I called? Aren't we all a little obsessed with our self image and the desire to be wanted? Just pick up any magazine and look at the adds. Air brushed images that tell us what we should wear and look like. And the pressure isn't just on woman anymore. It's us men who are being hunted by images of bulging muscles and ripped abs. I say, every parent who is signing up their kid for any of those modeling training schools should watch Runaway Divas. Great film, I highly recommend it!

To all you fanatical movie goers out there; this is a very brilliant dark and twisted comedy that will leave you jolted and have you glued to your seats. Seriously!!! once the film begins, forget about going to the restroom or concession stand because this film will have you entranced. I am not one who really cared so much for independent films until I was fortunate enough to view this one. A must see to all who appreciate great movie making talent and hard work in the independent film industry. This film opens our eyes to the scam artists of the world who tear apart the dreams of common people hoping to live the ultimate dream of becoming a so-called star. It depicts a variety of very likable characters and adds drama and comedy to a really twisted plot. This movie will have you laughing and crying while you see the sick truth of how cruel our society can really be. My hat's off to the film makers who worked so brilliantly hard to create this fine masterpiece of independent film work. BRAVO!!!

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.

As it's said at the beginning of the movie... this is based on a true story. And if you know anyone who's tried to become a model, actor, writer or anything else in the entertainment field, you probably heard a story rather similar to the one in the movie. There has popped up a sea of vultures who have made way too much money feeding off the dreams of others and this movie has finally shown a spotlight on these crooks.

I wish that Runway Divas was far-fetched fiction, but no matter how outlandish the story seemed to get, I had no doubt that somewhere... sometime just this exact situation has probably taken place. Even though the filmmakers tried to show it's humorous side, the drama always slipped through and you really began to feel for all the poor shmucks that got suckered into making idiots of themselves.

Most of my experience with independent films have usually left me bored from a slow story about somebody trying to find themselves, but this film told us a story that has not yet been covered by traditional Hollywood. And that's what independent films are suppose to do.

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
