Ian Buckwalter NPR 07/04/2010
6/10
The "casi" in Casi Divas translates to "almost," and it's an appropriate word for the film as a whole. Go to Full Review Kevin Thomas Los Angeles Times 08/21/2009
4/5
A comedy with just the right blend of satire, social comment, myriad complications, romance and heart-tugging to give it some deft shading and variety. Go to Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 08/21/2009
2.5/5
With a surrogate for every demographic and a heroine for every taste, Casi Divas jiggles and jokes its way around as many Mexican box-office bases as possible. Go to Full Review Steve Ramos Boxoffice Magazine 08/28/2009
2/5
The film's girl-to-girl comedy far outshines its frequent bursts of melodrama, two-dimensional male characters (especially Julio Bracho as the producer of the talent show) and surprising lack of suspense over who will win the contest. Go to Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru 08/24/2009
7.0/10
Mildly engaging, wickedly funny and peppy with a lively ensemble cast, but it could have used a stronger dose of imagination, satirical bite and wit. Go to Full Review Ron Wilkinson Monsters and Critics 08/22/2009
8/10
A funny television satire and heartening viewing experience that has personal lessons in courage as well as much needed commentary on US/Mexican border relations. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

03/23/2016 la verdad, me encanta esta peli, aunque no sea tan buena See more 12/30/2011 This is great movie, not a silly comedy of girls seeking fame, it makes some important points about Mexico, social and show business. Though the movie keeps a very pleasant, funny and entertaining story line without getting in to the drama. See more 11/25/2011 Casi Divas is as progressive as movies go. With the right mix of satire, humor, drama and politics; the movie as a whole delivers one of the most rewarding one hour and forty-six minutes of my life. The cast is fabulous. The delivery was never serious but the political messages of the movie are weighty--which the director and actors found a good balance. I'm a new fan of Issa López. See more 04/25/2011 Muy graciosa, nos gusto! See more 12/15/2010 very enjoyable Mexican comedy/drama (mainly drama) about a few young women from very different walks of life who compete to a get a movie role See more 09/17/2010 no, no, no, no, no, no... trilladísima, nada inventiva y, para acabarla, clasista/machista a morir.
