From Prada to Nada (2011)

Two lovely girls but with very different personalities are left on the streets after their former millionaire father dies on his birthday. They find refuge in their distant aunt's house where their lives become as ordinary as everyone else's. Thankfully, the two girls aren't going to let fate take its course so they take different paths which maybe one day will lead them one again to happiness.A lovely story which describes how someone can adapt from a life of wealth to poverty and his struggle along the way. I really enjoyed the course of events and although some may consider them cliché, I have to say that it was a very nice story. Although it was a bit predictable, it created a semi-dramatic atmosphere which ultimately led to romance and joyousness. I also liked the actors who fit really well in the picture, almost like it was created for them. A very enjoyable watch.

I had anticipated a better story line but was sadly disappointed. I had difficulty figuring out when the climax would come - it never came. I can not find the connection to Jane Austen's literary work in no other way than by the fact that they lose it all when 'daddy' dies. The two main characters 'Beverly Hills' background is evidently inconsistent with their actions. For instance, no one goes to her brother's engagement party wearing such a cheap dress! And, for a go- getter, Mary falls way too short and ends up in a more than predictable car accident. The director and scriptwriter could have done much better. And, when you are a leader and are highly respected in your business, you do not go and buy a house in the ghetto. It's simply inconsistent with who the character is.

No exaggeration, this is the worst movie I have ever seen. Where to even start? The plot was haphazard, illogical, and nonsensical. Jane Austen would be absolutely appalled by this piece of sh*t. Others have echoed a similar sentiment, but I'll reiterate: HOW WAS THIS MOVIE EVEN MADE?! I have seen low budget student films with better acting and dialogue, and I have seen some pretty bad student films. Camilla Belle acted like she was a dead narwhal. As for Alexa Vega, I've seen hookers act better. If you decide to watch this movie, be prepared for a slow and painful death. I regretted every second of this disaster.

About these two sisters who were extremely rich and knew no other world but the one of Beverly Hill's. But not until their father died and bankruptcy came face to face with them. They needed to sell their home and live somewhere else. Unfortunately, 'somewhere else' was East LA, in where they finally saw their family roots and cultures they never tried of seeing. Adaption was hard, but with love being learned and found… it wouldn't be much. I do not know why others did not like this, but I actually found it worth the watch. I liked how they came from being so clueless about life to finding ways to live. It is something pretty realistic—perhaps not about the mansion and all that—but getting into a life you never had the chance to live… or even see, then eventually love it. But two things that I did not like were the fast-paced love affairs of the Dominguez sisters and the way the director (maybe) did not make it seem like they were losing everything they once took for granted. (Fun with Dick and Jane is a good example for a good one.) Over-all, it was satisfying.
