BAMF

Eva Mendes, Matthew Modine, Cierra Ramirez, Patricia Arquette, Eugenio Derbez, Russell Peters, and Landon Liboiron star in this oddball of a coming of age movie. The premise is a bit awkward and kind of sad if you ask me. It is a comedy, but it has some pretty sad moments that kind of even it out. The acting is good and the characters are interesting. Mission Impossible is probably my favorite of ... read more

'Coming-of-age' theme that talks about it.

This comedy-drama about the Mexican family living in America talks about a girl who wants to be an adult in a short period of time. With the usual teen comedy, the story goes all around showcasing a girlie side of mischievous behavior. This was not a great teen movie, but acceptable. It's just letting us know what happen when teens are not supervised carefully by their parents. Clearly to say, it ... read more

To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it was starring Eva Mendes and since it was on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, it’s almost 10 years that Mendes retired to take care of her kids she had with Ryan Gosling and it had been a while since I saw one of her movies. Unfortunately, this movie was pretty weak, I’m afraid. Basically, it ... read more

“To be honest, I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but since it was starring Eva Mendes and since it was on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, it’s almost 10 years that Mendes retired to take care of her kids she had with Ryan Gosling and it had been a while since I saw one of her movies. Unfortunately, this movie was pretty weak, I’m afraid. Basically, it turned out to be one of these typical quirky indie comedies but, right from the start, the damned thing just didn’t work at all. In fact, I think it might have had some potential if they had chosen a completely different approach. Indeed, there was actually something rather sad, melancholic and genuine about this teenager and this single mother trying to figure out how to make sense of their res” read more
