Sleeping with the Fishes

I saw this for the first time when it was on HBO and thought it was a really cute film with a lovable cast and some really great family moments of humor and drama blended very well. This was all before I knew who Gina Rodriquez was...and then I saw it a second time with some friends who were obsessed with Jane the Virgin.

The first time I watched I just enjoyed the story and related to coming from a mixed family with cultural divides. I felt it was overall a really good movie - acting, writing and overall production. The second time I watched the movie, I realized why Gina was adored by so many people. She's our generation's Julia Roberts - very adorable in a rom-com style flick.

But hands down the BEST part of the movie was Ana Ortiz. I smiled every time she appeared on screen, and it was so good to have her there to balance out all the "drama" Gina's character brought to the story.

I recommend it for anyone who has had to sit with their family and admit they don't have their $^i& together yet...and of course, if you wanna laugh!
