It's so underwritten that you can't figure out just where the other characters, including Ana's father and grandfather, come down on the issue of Ana's future.

Real Women Have Curves is nowhere near a great film, but it is the most distinctive and appealing of entertainments.

A vivid cinematic portrait.

You watch for that sense of openness, the little surprises.

Funny and touching.
