From Prada To Nada (2011) 6/10

Starring : Camilla Belle, Alexa Vega, Wilmer Valderrama, Nicholas D'Agosto, April Bowlby, Kuno Becker, Adriana Barraza
Director : Angel Gracia
Running Time : 107 mins

Spoiled rich kid Nora Dominguez (Belle) and her even more spoiled sister Mary (Vega) are left penniless and homeless when their father dies suddenly. Forced to move in with their aunt Aurelia (Barraza) in a poor part of town, the two realise just how little they know about their roots as Nora tries to make a new life for herself and Mary tries to reclaim her old life.

There wasn’t really much to this movie, which is apparently based on Jane Austen’s Sense And Sensibility. The characters are stereotypical and a little flat, and the scenario is a little on the convoluted side, but as far as movies about rich kids having to cope without money go this wasn’t too bad, although the ending sort of defeated the point.
