Ana, a first generation Mexican American teenager living in East Los Angeles, has just graduated from high school. Because she is a talented writer, a caring teacher urges her to apply to college. Ana secretly is excited about the possibility, but her overbearing and hypercritical mother Carmen insists that it is time for her to help provide for the family by working in her sister's sewing factory. When a crisis arises at the factory, it seems as if Ana's fate is unhappily sealed, but her indomitable will to reach beyond a sweatshop life eventually leads her to burst, defiant and resplendent, through every restriction on her life.

User Reviews: Real Women Have Curves (2002)

  • Overall:

    So Close To Home!

    By LisaM  Apr 25, 2003 | 2 out of 2 found this Real Women Have Curves (2002) review helpful

    This is one of the best films ever made of a Mexican family showing true cultural beliefs and values and a young girl's desire to accept who she is and what she can become. The script so close to home, you can't stop the laughter of seeing right thro...ugh. Read more Less

  • Overall:

    Cliched and nonsensical

    By RozzAbrams  Apr 22, 2008

    Pros: None

    Cons: To many to list here

    This movie was a barrage of cliches and half-truths. The protagonist wants to go to college and is nervous about getting in, even though senior year is already over (this all would have been decided months earlier). Her mama doesn't want her to g...o to school at all, probably making her one the only immigrant in the history of the country that moved to this country to ensure her children couldn't take advantage of its opportunities. The whole body image issue is presented as a feel-good, Oprahesque sub-plot. Read more Less
