Don't let the awful movie's title fool you (just as it fooled me): it's a test. You have to pass the same exam most characters in the present movie had to: acknowledge possible different ways to be bright, smart and beautiful other than our common (american-western-european) way.Fina Torres, Luis Alfaro and Craig Fernandez (in this exact order, I guess) added a lot of wit to Jane Austen's novel (I assume that you have read 'Sense and Sensibility'), mainly under the form of spicy, meaningful and very good lines.It's a classic, so I won't comment the plot, I'd just like you to know that this is a very sophisticated comedy and that I would be really surprised if watching it would let you down.

I note some comments mentioning this as an adaptation of a Jane Austin. For me that author is way to heavy, but there are light adaptations that make for stories that I can accept as okay fun.If it is an adaptation, it is not a heavy, difficult to get through, sort of story. I find this to be a story to enjoy.If I had to look for a message I would likely get it wrong, but the title, Sense And Sensibility, does remind me of how impossible good sense is these days, of how sense and sensibility are central factors re how to face reality, yet somehow impossible at the same time. If I go no further than that in deep meaning I also note that this is a happy ending story. Reality not appearing to be so well geared to happy endings, see opera as stories re that, I do prefer my fiction to be an escape from that aspect of reality and From Prada To Nada says it all while having a happy ending.I find the background music to be a really fun part of the 'get away from it all' aspect. The first time that I tried to identify the Latin American type songs in a feature, it was something like Mary Kate and Ashley's television competition story, I did not get very far. This East L.A. story is plastered with such music and it is nice and fitting to the story and oh so easy to identify.Soon after I started watching my Blu-ray of this I purchased a DVD of Walkout (2006), a story about a historic aspect of East L.A., an actress called Alexa Vega in the lead. That has more difficult to identify music, including a couple of songs that were around East L.A. during 1968. But the main song is Om Hraum Mitraya by Deva Premal, which I had thought to be eastern Buddhist but is identified in a DVD commentary as Aztec, a more recent interpretation but still extremely fitting. It is used at the start and at the end, the ending it goes on for around ten minutes. Really right.

About these two sisters who were extremely rich and knew no other world but the one of Beverly Hill's. But not until their father died and bankruptcy came face to face with them. They needed to sell their home and live somewhere else. Unfortunately, 'somewhere else' was East LA, in where they finally saw their family roots and cultures they never tried of seeing. Adaption was hard, but with love being learned and found… it wouldn't be much. I do not know why others did not like this, but I actually found it worth the watch. I liked how they came from being so clueless about life to finding ways to live. It is something pretty realistic—perhaps not about the mansion and all that—but getting into a life you never had the chance to live… or even see, then eventually love it. But two things that I did not like were the fast-paced love affairs of the Dominguez sisters and the way the director (maybe) did not make it seem like they were losing everything they once took for granted. (Fun with Dick and Jane is a good example for a good one.) Over-all, it was satisfying.

After a day of packing we decided to settle in and watch a movie before calling it a night. I'd like to give this movie only one star, but I did sit through the entire thing, after all. Aside from the horrible acting from the two main characters, the only thing that stood out to me were the horrible spray tans the two girls had. I've seen pictures of both of these actresses without a spray tan and they are both quite beautiful when they are not orange. It was just odd. It was nice seeing "Fez" again...he's come a long way since his days on That 70s Show :) Man...ten lines of text? OK...what else can I say? The movie was just not very good.
