This movie had an excellent message: to love your body no matter what your size. I really do believe that ALL women should view themselves as beautiful, be them large or small. However, I feel the script was highly predictable, clichéd, and not very well-written. The actors did a lovely job with what they were given... But the characters' interactions were not very satisfying. The relationships were not developed enough in the film to be believable. Ana and her "abuelito" have a little "moment" at the kitchen table, where he tells her she is his gold. This was cheese and Ana's embarrassment at this comment reflected our own. Ana and her mother were at such odds throughout the ENTIRE film that I wasn't at all moved by her refusal to speak to her at the end. She was so NASTY to her daughter. I don't recall her ever saying anything remotely kind or encouraging. Her character just seemed extremely selfish and unloving. Ana's little romance with Jimmy seems to have been thrown in just as a little gratifying bit for the audience. However, due to the film's rating, we aren't given any nudity to enjoy. My goodness. The script needed much tweaking.
