Ian Buckwalter NPR The "casi" in Casi Divas translates to "almost," and it's an appropriate word for the film as a whole. Rated: 6/10 Jul 4, 2010 Full Review Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times A comedy with just the right blend of satire, social comment, myriad complications, romance and heart-tugging to give it some deft shading and variety. Rated: 4/5 Aug 21, 2009 Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times With a surrogate for every demographic and a heroine for every taste, Casi Divas jiggles and jokes its way around as many Mexican box-office bases as possible. Rated: 2.5/5 Aug 21, 2009 Full Review Steve Ramos Boxoffice Magazine The film's girl-to-girl comedy far outshines its frequent bursts of melodrama, two-dimensional male characters (especially Julio Bracho as the producer of the talent show) and surprising lack of suspense over who will win the contest. Rated: 2/5 Aug 28, 2009 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru Mildly engaging, wickedly funny and peppy with a lively ensemble cast, but it could have used a stronger dose of imagination, satirical bite and wit. Rated: 7.0/10 Aug 24, 2009 Full Review Ron Wilkinson Monsters and Critics A funny television satire and heartening viewing experience that has personal lessons in courage as well as much needed commentary on US/Mexican border relations. Rated: 8/10 Aug 22, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member la verdad, me encanta esta peli, aunque no sea tan buena Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member This is great movie, not a silly comedy of girls seeking fame, it makes some important points about Mexico, social and show business. Though the movie keeps a very pleasant, funny and entertaining story line without getting in to the drama. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Casi Divas is as progressive as movies go. With the right mix of satire, humor, drama and politics; the movie as a whole delivers one of the most rewarding one hour and forty-six minutes of my life. The cast is fabulous. The delivery was never serious but the political messages of the movie are weighty--which the director and actors found a good balance. I'm a new fan of Issa López. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Muy graciosa, nos gusto! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member very enjoyable Mexican comedy/drama (mainly drama) about a few young women from very different walks of life who compete to a get a movie role Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member no, no, no, no, no, no... trilladísima, nada inventiva y, para acabarla, clasista/machista a morir. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
