Luminarias Movie Review

Four whiny, middle-aged, Latina women just can't understand why a good man is hard to find. Well, if you spouted weepy lines like "I'm falling in love with myself for the first time!" maybe you'd have trouble understanding why as well. Unfortunately screenwriter/star Evelina Fernández doesn't understand just how sappy her writing is (and her acting skills are middling), thus dooming her, and Luminarias, to the 99-cent bin at Blockbuster. If the idea of this movie is remotely appealing to you, check out Tortilla Soup instead.
