Critic Reviews
-
Ian Buckwalter, NPR
The "casi" in Casi Divas translates to "almost," and it's an appropriate word for the film as a whole.
-
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald
A shrill and gaudy comedy about the quest for celebrity.
-
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times
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.
-
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
With a surrogate for every demographic and a heroine for every taste, Casi Divas jiggles and jokes its way around as many Mexican box-office bases as possible.
-
Ronnie Scheib, Variety
[A] gloriously flamboyant comedic extravaganza.
