| | JoBlo's movie review of Real Women Have Curves: America Ferrera, Lupe Ontiveros, Ingrid Oliu |
 | | But the film is mostly about the main girl (yup, the chick with the curves aka a plumpy Michelle Rodriguez), as played by America Ferrera (in her first film role), and she is engaging enough of a character to keep things afloat most of the way. |
| | In this day and age, in which certain "role models" a la Christina Aguilera are strutting their skinny half-naked sleazy asses across your children's television screens, it's nice to see someone "normal" who propagates the idea of one being comfortable with oneself, without the celery stick figure or two-bit hooker outfits. |
| | Some of the actors do, however, come across as first-timers with "off" deliveries here and there, but the main two ladies were solid and believable throughout, and in a movie based mostly on their back-and-forth struggle for acceptance, that's the most important element anyway. |
