Girl in Progress




Light little movie with a lot of heart. This 2012 drama-comedy is perfect for Mother and Daughter bonding; shedding light on the necessary ups and downs of life and how you should stick together. Written by Hiram Martinez and Directed by Patricia Riggen, this film got 6 wins and 3 nominations for it's positive message.

Running 93 minutes with a $5 million USD budget this story has been told time and time again but this unfolded with a different twist. Latina bomb-shell Eva Mendez stars genuinely alongside talented and confident new-comer Cierra Ramirez. Raini Rodriguez whom many may recognize from Disney and Canadian Comedian Russell Peters also adds passion and humanity.

This story reminds us of how clever the youth are and how they are only seeking for that dwindling attention that goes everywhere except where it needs to be. Presence will always be more sentimental and meaningful than presents. The responsibility of parenthood is one that shouldn't be taken lightly.
