Real Women Have Curves
 
Patricia Cardoso's Sundance award winner is about a strained mother-daughter relationship, set in East L.A. The comedy in which big and beautiful Ana (newcomer America Ferrera, pictured) comes of age in East L.A. surrounded by her overbearing family, was never intended for theatrical release. It was made for HBO. "At the time," explains Newmarket Films' Bob Berney, "HBO's policy was that everything was for television only. But every Sundance review said that it had to have a theatrical release."(1 hr. 25 mins.; PG-13)
