Excellent adaptation.

Crappy film

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

I just saw this movie for about the fifteenth time. (dvr) I absolutely love the story line. Vanessa Marcil was so natural in her role. The three friends had a great chemistry. Strange, but Margarita had wonderful chemistry with both her husband and lover. The mother was a bit devious. But I can see where she is coming from, to use unorthodox measures to reach your children. The outcome was great for them all. I enjoyed Casper as Luther. His love for Margarita was so unconditional. But I was happy to see her wake up to realize what she had with Ariel. And I can appreciate her forgiveness to her mother. I watch OHS at least once a month. Very entertaining.

I watched this movie as it was labeled a "comedy". Somehow I think there was nothing funny about it. It wasn't deep enough to actually be a drama, so somewhere in between drama and comedy; "dramedy"? hahaThe story of the movie was nice though, and you could easily immerse yourself into the roles and plot. However, the movie was very predictable, and as a guy I must say, mostly intended for a female audience. The movie did take up a couple of interesting points and aspects of life situations.The cast was good, although I am fairly unfamiliar with them all, except for Casper Van Dien - whom seemed so out of place wearing a suit and having this role.This movie was sort of a Latina approach to the "Sex and the City" genre. Not a bad movie at all, just not really within my normal range of taste.I think this movie is perhaps best watched together with your special one for a night of romance and quality time together, or for girls to watch on their own. But of course, to each his (or her) own.

I loved this movie! The performances by Vanessa Marcil, Tessie Santiago and Jaqueline Pinol absolutely made this movie. I saw it on Lifetime Movie Network by accident and then watched it again for a second time. Lifetime is known for movies that show women in a victim role or running away from somebody or something. This movie was contrary to the normal Lifetime formula. For one, this movie was about 3 Latin women living their lives and the challenges they were facing day to day. But mostly it was about their friendship and support of one another in tough times. This movie was lighthearted and funny, but it also touched on immigration, relationships, feeling like something is missing from your life, betrayal, forgiveness, parenthood and sisterhood in friendship. The characters were real, imperfect and I identified with each one of them. Great movie!!

I love romantic comedies and a good lifetime movie as well. However, this had some SERIOUS potential, but I was disappointed in V.M.'s performance. I liked her in Las Vegas, but she was almost monotone in this movie and her expressions hardly ever changed. She looked and seemed like she felt the same, when happy, pensive, sad, upset, angry....she did raise her voice and have an argument at one point...but she was just monotone in a louder voice. And, not trying to be mean, but she is SO pretty, the man who played her husband just wasn't "it" as far as a match for her. The lover seemed more passionate and well, just plain better in acting and looks. The women who played her best friends were good and the actress playing her married friend with kids, did a great job with emotions and being believable. I just got the feeling that V.M. was reading and was stifling yawns while acting in this. Maybe she'll get her spunk back in the next one. Worth watching....sure, it is good it is a TV movie, it wouldn't have made it on the big screen. I would put the actors names in, but didn't have a chance to write everything down first. Sorry. Not trying to make every one mad.
