I loved this movie….it is exceptionally well acted, witty, with a intellectual and biting script. Though it’s technically a “chick flick”, I mediate men would devour it also (although maybe not admit that) . I saw it on television and liked it so distinguished I wanted to contemplate the unedited version. You can never go sinful with a movie made by HBO, and is something that you will want to pull out of the drawer and survey again and again.
The director/screenwriter, Patricia Cardoso and the co-screenwriter George LaVoo of “Actual Women have Curves,” have devised a movie centering around some very inspiring subjects: how we peer ourselves, how other’s search for us and the friction and or disparity between the two. At the center of this myth is a proud, hard-working Mexican American family: mother Carmen (Lupe Ontiveros) and her youngest daughter Ana (America Ferrera) . Ana is an honor student and valedictorian of her graduating high school class. Her dream is to win her scholarship at Columbia University and to speed the narrow confines and thinking of her East Los Angeles neighborhood and family. But mother, Carmen has other ideas: Carmen wants Ana to forgo college for awhile and to work in Ana’s sister’s garment factory so as to support befriend the family.

On top of this, Carmen is continually nagging at Ana to lose weight. “How do you question to regain a husband and have children with all that weight on you? ” Carmen asks Ana. It is to Cardoso’s credit that Ana has a very distinct body image and of course it doesn’t afflict that America Ferrera is quite delicate and imbues Ana with a sort of fierce and dynamic determination that makes people stand up and win glimpse not because of her size but because of her mind.
On the surface Carmen’s plans for Ana seem cruel and minute minded but in reality it is a natural trait of first generation immigrants to state family about all else. Ontiveros plays Carmen not as an ogre but as a woman who fears for her daughter’s safety in the outside world. What Carmen doesn’t realize is that Ana has inherited her courage and presence of mind from her and her husband: Ana is a product, the physical manifestation of Carmen’s wishes and dreams of a better life for her children and herself.
The residence section of “Actual Women have Curves” is a scene in the garment factory when all the women, lead by Ana, settle to shed their clothing initially because of the heat. There is a palpable feeling of exaltation and release in this scene on several levels: “curvy” women not being embarrassed to disrobe and indicate their bodies that becomes a universal call to all women to embrace their physical selves and to reject what society and our culture dictates as the female ideal. In essence, all females are ideal is what Cardoso is saying.
“Genuine Women have Curves” is a puny film with the nerve and the guts to examine and then supply answers to some of the stuff our culture bombards us with daily. Stuff that can either stifle you…or build you stronger and more resolute.
