From Prada to Nada

Description

Jane Austen currently enjoys far greater success, and fans more willingly proclaim her greatness than ever in her lifetime. Witness her Facebook page boasting thousands of loyal fans. No one should feel surprised, therefore, movie derivatives of Austen's stories are surefire hits. Clueless, adapted from and remarkably faithful to Austen's Emma, remains a 'tween favorite, and brilliantly produced Jane Austen period pieces remain in high demand on Netflix and pay-per-view.' Set for widespread release in 2011, From Prada to Nada updates Sense and Sensibility, transposing it from dauntingly British to seductively Latina, and relocating it from the English countryside to East LA.  Camilla Belle, Alexa Vega, and Adrianna Barraza star in the story of Beverly Hills socialites left penniless when their father suddenly dies. Equally traumatized by withdrawal from haute couture and their complete lack of Spanish-language proficiency, the two sisters navigate a treacherous passage from 90210 to Boyle Heights. Along the way, they learn to ride the bus, honor their Latin heritage, love their extended family, and appreciate los guapos romanticos. Of course, because it is Jane Austen, From Prada to Nada ends happily, but pack plenty of Kleenex for the cryworthy sweetness of it.

The super-smart but tragically nerdy kids go to Harvard; the wise-ass geniuses go to Yale. Natalie Portman went to Yale. Therefore, no one should feel at all surprised that Portman can follow a brilliant and breathtaking performance in Black Swan with a charming and lighthearted romp through No Strings Attached. The bitter and brutal ballet movie showed critics and audiences just how smart, sensitive, and psychotic Portman can become when a role demands manic intensity. One critic commented, "She always has been good, but now we know the woman actually can act—except she is so good we forget she is acting." No Strings Attached proves Portman's range, and it satisfies her concern that Hollywood produces far too few "vulgar" comedies for women by women and starring women."No Strings Attached gained director Ivan Reitman's attention when it qualified for the 2009 "Hollywood Blacklist," a studio executive's annual collection of the best scripts that have failed to make the cut at every major studio. The writers pitched No Strings Attached in a single sentence: "A guy and a girl struggle to have an exclusively sexual relationship as they both come to realize they want much more." Although the plot seems painfully thin, irony, sentiment, and humor alloy the script. Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher punctuate and pixelate the post-modern era's answer to Doris Day and Rock Hudson, delivering a sweetly satisfying Valentine's Day confection. Apparently, at Yale, students learn never to take themselves or their obvious brilliance too seriously.
