Girl in Progress 2012


     Grace is a single mom, she tries to balance work, bills and her daughter, Ansiedad.  Everything goes haywire for both of them at the same time.  Grace’s boss leaves her in charge of the Crab Shack where she works while he is away.  Money is taken from the safe and the boss is very angry.  Ansiedad receives an assignment to write a coming-of-age story for the class.  She feels she needs to make a maturity bucket list and check off growth stages quickly.  She wants to be an adult but not like her mother.
     Just about everyone can relate to life falling apart especially when money doesn’t go very far and teens get mixed up.  This is funny, alternates between silly and serious.  3* (This movie is OK)

93 min Comedy directed by Patricia Riggen with Eva Mendes, Cierra Ramirez, Matthew Modine, Patricia Arquette, Eugenio Derbez, Raini Rodriguez.

Note:  Blockbuster 2 ½*, imdb 4.9 out of 10, 29% critic 58% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
