From Prada To Nada Film Review

On DVD

Director: Angel Gracia

Starring: Camilla Belle, Alexa Vega, Wilmer Valderrama, Nicholas D’Agosto, Kuno Becker

This riches to rags film is a re-imagining of Jane Austen’s Sense And Sensibility. Siblings Norah and Mary were orphaned by their father and are left with almost nothing but their belongings. Their estranged stepbrother bought their house and they and had no other choice but to live with their Aunt in a Mexican Town at East Los Angeles.

There, they needed to adjust with their new lifestyle. Learn their culture and discover a whole lot more about love and family.

I actually enjoyed watching this film. Camilla Belle who played Norah was definitely the star of the film. Both leads are not Oscar Material and dialogues are a bit awkward and lame but they pretty much complimented each other.

It was a feel good and a very ordinary film that will leave you smiling right after watching it.

I would give it a 7/10 Ratings.
