Everything about this cheery sit-com-type Jane Austen-meets Cinderella rom com is utterly predictable.

Rated: 1.5/5

It's just predictable rom-com fare in need of a lot more spice.

Rated: 2/4

The broad humour and cultural caricatures in the film's opening moments will be especially dispiriting to any English literature professors in the audience.

a predictable film that could have benefited from a little more thought and perhaps less reliance on clichs.

Horrible pelicula ridícula y patética como todo lo que televisa produce, haciendo denotar como siempre su fama de poner actores blancos y nice sobre la comunidad mas real mexicana. Un asco de producción además qué hace televisa haciendo películas en estados unidos, si hace al debería hacer algo para represemtrnos bien y no con exageraciones nefastas.🤮😠

I found the show and the characters to be wonderful. Wonderful contrast of life in Beverly Hills and then to East Los Angeles. Usually I do not watch RomComs, but this really grabbed me. So prepare some chips and salsa and enjoy!

This adaptation is a little bit goofy, but I love it. Casting is delightful, and I love the two romantic pairings--Wilmer Valderrama as Bruna is especially wonderful.

A typical U.S/Mexican romantic comedy that has the classical formula of intimacy and happy endings. It disappoints to see in the beginning of the movie that it is based on Sense and Sensibility because I do not think there were elements of that in the film. In terms of a romance film, there were elements where I laughed about the interaction of the 2 sisters, and also emotional when they reflect on the issue of love. The cast was dynamic and filled with colors of excitement regarding Mexican culture. However, the plot was too choppy in that there is not enough scenes regarding the importance of the father and also the brother as well. This movie can have room for improvement.

This is one of the few Latino movies that has a positive spin on rich girls gone barrio girls (real regular girls). Something you can watch with the family and root for the nice girls! I've seen Latino-Mexican movies where everyone is a cholo or a narco trafficante! This is not that- just a positive way to see the true Latino experience! A helpful aunt and extended family! I've seen it at least 5 times! I wish it would have had more success!
