Four ambitious and beautiful young women from four very different worlds. Just like hundreds of others, they are caught up in the frenzy that sweeps the nation when Alejandro Mateos (Julio Bracho), one of the country's most powerful producers, dreams up a nationwide talent search to cast the lead in his next big movie. But all this is news to Alejandro's on-again, off-again lover, Eva Gallardo (Patricia Llaca), a diva of epic proportions, who expected to get the part. While Eva schemes to nail down the role, our four leads begin their own journey on the road to fame. CASI DIVAS is the funny and heartfelt story of how these four women begin as fierce competitors out to become stars, only to discover that together they can reach even greater heights. Review: good story, good characters, good casting... - Suprisingly good, better than expected. Its funny, sad, deep, and entertaining. I had rented it, I liked it so much that I bought it. I really loved the characters, the indigenous girl from oaxaca who has to deal with racism and discrimination. The girl from juarez who is exploited in a maquiladora, lives in a shanty town, and is seeing her female co workers and friends disappear then found dead and the authorities don't care. The tranny from mexico city, who wants to be a star and loved and accepted as woman, also her family is hilarious. The spoiled rich girl from jalisco, struggling with her weight problems, obssesed with being thin and perfect. I loved them all. I strongly recommend this movie. Review: Casi Awesome! - This is truly a wonderful movie, kind of misleading by cover. Its actually, while humorous, quite serious with several relevant life messages. The acting, directing and everything just makes for a great film.

What a great surprise this was
What a great surprise this was! Engaging story, some insights into Mexican culture, a good story - don't miss this gem! Thanks to my young adult daughter who recommended it, our family, including teen daughters, really enjoyed this.

Good movie
I enjoyed this movie. It was different than I expected. I had hoped to use it with my 8th grade heritage Spanish speakers, but there is A LOT of swearing (which is a hard thing in Spanish, because what one family considers swearing, another may not). There is also a transgender contestant - whereas I liked the element that brought to the movie (a bit deeper than it might have been otherwise), I don't know if my students are ready for this. Which is a shame because I do love how we learn a little bit about 4 different states of Mexico and see not only poverty but also a very rich girl.
