Four ambitious young women are caught up in a chance to star in a movie. But all this is news to the film producer’s lover, Eva Gallardo, a diva of epic proportions, who expected to get the part. While Eva schemes to nail down the role, the four girls begin their own journey on the road to fame.

We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

What are critics saying?

Los Angeles Times by Kevin Thomas

A comedy with just the right blend of satire, social comment, myriad complications, romance and heart-tugging to give it some deft shading and variety.

70

The Hollywood Reporter by Kirk Honeycutt

An enjoyable spoof of Mexican soap operas and the entertainment business itself. The film doesn't ask to be taken seriously but if you absolutely insist, there is pointed commentary about the deep divisions within that society over skin color, gender politics and social backgrounds.

Time Out by Monika Fabian

In using the urban poor and the queer community as punch lines, Casi Divas ultimately succumbs to its own criticism.

80

Variety by Ronnie Scheib

Gloriously flamboyant comedic extravaganza, fuses soap opera and "American Idol"-type competition, following four wildly different women vying for the star role in a feature filmization of a popular telenovela.
