From Prada to Nada
2011
Two Latina sisters accustomed to the high life are forced to adjust quickly after their father's death leaves them destitute and faced with the prospect of moving in with their aunt in East Los Angeles. Based loosely on Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility, this spirited comedy chronicles the indignities of modern downward mobility, along with the unexpected chances at redemption that fate can bring about.
Synopsis compliments of Netflix
Another "just a tad better than just okay." Very predictable, but some of the chemistry between characters really works. The east LA hispanic culture is portrayed as cozy and tight-knit and gives the film its flavor.
