Review of Ana Maria in Novela Land (2015) by Susannah B — 02 Mar 2015

I saw Ana Maria in Novela Land with my mom, my aunt, and friends. A wonderful mother-daughter date. We all loved it. Clever writing. A little like Soapdish, but funnier. Edy Ganem is convincing as two different people.

She is adorable. Carla Morrison's music was beautiful, I want the soundtrack. Michael Steger is a stud as the leading man in the soap, however he is more lovable when he played the boy next door. He is the reason I wanted to see this movie.

I'm a Bones fan: happy to see Tamara Taylor. Elizabeth Pena reminded me of my own mom. Sad that she passed away; I love that the movie was dedicated to her. Luis Guzman was silly-creepy, the best kind of villain.

Mercedes Masohn was poignant. Novela Land landscapes could easily be captured as a stills to be framed as gorgeous pictures to be enjoyed on the walls at home. I was carefree and took a mini vacation into the movie's fun, dual worlds.

This is a sweet, feel-good movie I'd like to own because it kept me laughing.
