Review of Sin tetas no hay paraíso (2010) by John M — 23 May 2011

"Without Tits There Is No Paradise" is the title translated. The story is based on a young girl, Catalina, who lives in Pereira (Colombia) and becomes obsessed with getting breast implants in order to overcome poverty. Catalina decides to become a "prepago" (prepaid), a prostitute who has sex with drug traffickers in exchange for gifts, money and social status.

The movie is based on the best-selling novel with the same name written by Gustavo Bolivar. It was successfully turned into a Colombia series then it was secondly adapted in Spain and finally in USA.

I didn't get to watch any of the series' adaptations but I remember all the people talking about how good it was. Only the Colombian and USA adaptation were aired in the cable of my country.

The movie is not bad but the major problem with it is that it seems they tried take too much of the story to the big screen because it is too rushed, packed and abruptly edited in parts that I felt I was watching a summary though it was a pretty entertaining and with a good ending.

Decent summary of a successful story.
