That was an excellent one.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Review: The director done a bad job putting this movie together because the storyline had the makings for a good movie. It's been made so you don't take it that seriously, although the there are some moments that make you think about how you would react if you was in that situation. The main problem isn't with the acting, which was played by some quite attractive women, but its the way that the some what, serious situation, was portrayed as an unfunny comedy. Disappointing!Round-Up: This is another one of those movies were they have put the main attraction, which in this case is supposed to be Christian Slater, all over the poster when he has nothing to really do with it. Maria Conchita Alonso who has starred in movies like the Running Man & Colors, has had way too much plastic surgery. It makes her look like a totally different and strange person. Eva Longoria looks great, as usual, but it made me feel a bit uncomfortable, watching her playing such a terrible role.Budget: $4.7million (On What?) Worldwide Gross: N/AI recommend this movie to people who like there silly comedies about women living without men. 1/10

Bad Movie Eva Longoria, Judy Reyes, Maria Conchita Alonso, ladies you have done better movies, **Spoilers**Big disappointment-Great Cast, Good Premise, but bad execution. However**Spoiler** relationship scenes where good, but the Romance scenes were OK based on the premise; director had good material, but there should have been some re-writes. Plus the director should have pushed cast.***Spoilers*** for a movie that suppose to have about Lesbian sex; ***Spoilers*** "Where's the sex" I have seen better sex scenes on the "L Word", Better than Chocolate, Mercy, etc. and other TV Shows/Movies. What kind of movie did this movie want to be: Sex Comedy, Soft Core Porn, Erotic Comedy, or a Sex Farce? Ex. *** Spoiler** HBO's Hemmingway and Gellhorn had both great sex and relationship scenes. In other words, bad script and directing gave the cast little meat to work with and Eva if want to a movie about Lesbian relationship you need to more believable, especially when said you want to do "Tipping the Velvet" with Beyonce!!!

The films is a great adaptation on the James Canyon novel... A great ensemble cast of Latino women play this funny movie! Great for women and couples... Director Tagliavini, faithful to her style combines colorful images with great choreographic acting. Oscar Nuñez participation is a chapter apart, giving a exhilarating performance as the priest of this town. Eva ( Longoria ) and Kate ( Del Castillo ) give a believable loving couple not to show a sexual behavior, but a sexy appealing loving partners. The music also needs to be mentioned, playing a great character in the film. Can't wait for the Latin America release ( Do somebody have the release dates? )

Film has a good enough premise but little else. Small Mexican community loses all of its men when they're all rounded up against their will to fight in some unnamed war and the women end up taking over just fine thank you...but as time goes on they find themselves missing their men and wonder what they're gonna do for survival ultimately deciding to try and repopulate their town by sleeping with the one man who is still there--the local priest! (played in a Way over the top performance by Oscar Nunez from "The Office" and "The Proposal") Meanwhile in an almost completely tacked on subplot hotshot intrepid war correspondent Chrisitan Slater is told of this village and sets out on his own to find it as a human interest story in the midst of all this war.Movie keeps you watching in hopes that it will go somewhere interesting or so but ultimately goes nowhere. It doesn't help that almost every character in the movie is a one dimensional cartoon character--and even less subtle too boot. Film would actually be a complete and total mess were it not for the professional performance of Eva Longoria here. In fact I would go so far to say the reason why the film works at all would be because of the slightly greater depth Longoria gives her character. She actually manages to make her character seem like a better thought out character then the other assorted characters here and while i don't know if that's because the script focuses more on her or if its because Longoria gets to resemble an actual human being as opposed to the more comically exaggerated people here, i give her all the credit in the world for providing the film with someone to actually somewhat care about. (if only Slater's character had been given as much screen time to develop into someone worth caring about as well) Longoria plays the uptight wife of the mayor who gladly takes over after her husband is taken alongside the other men. Film is mostly about how she comes into her own while taking charge and making decisions for once, and also how she learns to loosen up while engaging in a flirtation with a lesbian drifter who becomes the sheriff of the town (as well as the town's resident bad ass) As a case of a former wallflower coming into her own the film actually works---as anything else however the film really doesn't. The film's tone is very broad and played in an over the top farcical style which doesn't really gel with the subject matter. While its nice to see a film with this subject matter not played in heavy handed award baiting sympathy mode...i'm not sure if taking the complete opposite tone was the right track either. The mixture of tones-- wild sex farce and true love amongst suffering village women could work well but doesn't really come off as well as it could here. The film should play well on cable TV tho where the bright colors and bouncy energy will help it stand out from what else is on tho it might not sustain your interest past the second or third commercial break.
