I saw this movie today - it just opened here in Tulsa - and was amazed at how delightfully engaging a seemingly simple human story can be when a great script is placed in the hands of a wonderful director.
Think of a Hispanic, or Anglo, Tyler Perry who wants to show us that plain people aren't plain, and good families are really good.
As so many have already pointed out, this is a story about a young lady who learns that she's pregnant at the same time that she gets fired from a restaurant in New York City. Jose, a co-worker, befriends her and they spend a day that takes them ... and us ... in a wonderful tour of a city and a family that kept my attention riveted.
The cinematography and editing seemed utterly flawless to me. What amazingly delightful shots, what perfectly timed cuts.
The actors were all superb. Tammy Blanchard's Nina and Eduardo Verástegui's Jose were convincing and engaging. All supporting actors and actresses were excellent. And everyone was simply perfect at carrying forward this delightful story.
I would simply recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys convincing and engaging human interest stories.
