Beautifully shot and well crafted, Garcia Girls is a revelation to those looking for love in a realistic fashion. Fine acting by America Ferrera, Elizabeth Pena and a daring performance by Lucy Gallardo as a grandmother you'll never forget.

Beautiful! This is a movie about life, hope and love! My husband can't stand slow movies but found this one very sweet. I like action movies, suspense, adventure, fast pace but this movie really touched me as a being leaving me with a big smile at the end! Yes, is a slow movie but this one has a special touch!

I found this movie facinating. It may be a bit slow but it is the type of movie you can get into. America Ferrera along with Elizabeth Pena were outstanding. I loved the grandma and her suitor gardner. I think it was worth watching, and I would see again.
