Movie review – “From Prada to Nada” (2011) **1/2

Sense and Sensibility for the Hispanic tween set and it works surprisingly well -as Clueless showed, Los Angeles is a good facsimile for the world of Jane Austen because of all the class divisions. Camilla Belle is massively hot as the Emma Thompson character (yeah, put glasses on, that'll hide it) and Alex Vega fun as the trashy shallow rich one. They don't quite nail the romantic plots with the various men but it says something important about embracing Latino roots and is a pleasant way to spend the time.
