    This a Mexican movie which is very predictable and has the classic stereotypes that we having seen in many teen movies. The movie delivers a couple of chuckles but nothing more.

    another example of the 'new mexican cinema' a 1 yuck movie that is a little slow in parts with the main characters that r not well developed and as a result you don't really connect to or care about any of the girls.

    Moderately entertaining, but a bit too silly for my taste. It gets cute at the end, though ridiculously so.

    A very fun, adorable movie. Good things always happen when a rebel is sent to charm school. It has a fun cast of actors and a plot that includes love for everyone.
