The film has inspired content 'Sense and Sensibility' by Jane Austen but set in modern life when the rich two sisters living happily, suddenly lost their father and become not penniless and move to live with her estranged aunt in East Los Angeles area.
If the effort to shoehorn Austen's social commentary into a modern context sometimes seems nonsensical or forced, the actors-especially now-grown Spy Kid Vega-have charm to spare.
The broad humour and cultural caricatures in the film's opening moments will be especially dispiriting to any English literature professors in the audience.
It's smarter than you think it's going to be based on its idiotic title and, more importantly, consistently gets by on its good-natured and warm-hearted charms.
I'd hate to learn the producers struggled to amp the ethnicity of the actresses when that precious time clearly should've been devoted to reworking a wheezy, clumsy script.
There's something crassly disingenuous about the movie's blatant demographic pandering (hooray for immigration-panic jokes!) and half-a--ed condemnation of gluttony.
