Ratings and reviews

To be honest, I almost cried my eyes out, literally, this movie is one of the movies that has made me ugly cry, escpecially when she was at the party and she thought everyone was laughing at her, YOU MUST WATCH THIS MOVIE AND FEEL THE FEELS.

I do not consider myself a movie goer of movies that are written to tug at your emotions, but if every emotion tugging movie was written and the stars acted as humbly and stupendous as the stars of this movie, then I would give up watching the action hero, CG, bang em up shoot em up flicks that I usually watch and stock my library with these. The other sister is a warm hearted, endearing, rooting for the underdog story line leaves you crying while at the same time laughing.

I love this movie so much. I love the part when Carla wanted to live on her own but mom thought it wouldnt work but Carla fought for the apartment and she got it.
