This is one of the best movies I have seen in a while. It's about love, it's about coming of age, it's about how family can help and hinder, and most importantly......it's about being true to yourself. The movie truly touched my heart and made me cry and laugh. And boy oh boy did I cheer at the end. This movie speaks for ALL who want to please but at the same time know deep inside they do what they must do. A movie of love......what more can you ask for! I thought that Anita's problems were handled very sensitivity especially the sequence where she makes love for the first time. Her MOM is not quite the dragon that she is made out to be at first. She is a mother who just really wants her daughter to be happy but yet is stuck in her own time frame. And has bought into how the world thinks a woman's body is supposed to be. When her mother says she is pregnant and does not realize it's the change of life........Funny.......(being that age myself have been there and done that) It's funny yet sad. Do we stop being women just because our bodies change? Yet a lot of society says so. But I thought the saddest thing was when Anita's MOM could not say goodbye.......What her MOM does not realize.....she has NOT lost a daughter......she brought up a BRIGHT INTELLIGENT WOMAN, who will go far. The LOVE that is showed is remarkable.....her DAD......her Grandfather......her sister....this may be not in the way we all would wish......But it is there. Change is hard...But change is inevitable. GREAT MOVIE......2 THUMBS UPS!!!!!!
