From Prada to Nada

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0893412/

my daughters and i watched this movie.kind of a chick flick,but a fun movie to watch.we know from the title it is a "riches to rags"story like a Latina spin on Jane Austen's "Sense and Sensibility"as the IMDb says.Starring Camilla Belle as the modest law student Nora and her stuck up rich "bitch" sister Mary played by Alexa Vega.the sisters find out that what they believed before changes them in how they view their culture,heritage and career ambitions.it also stars Wilmer Valderrama as Bruno.check it out.
