It's been a while since I've seen this movie, but I find it funny that it's basically described as "Sex and the City with Latinas"...it didn't come off that way to me at all. In fact, the number one thing I remember from "Luminarias" is all the racism. The female characters made it clear that the only reason a white woman would want a Latino is for a trophy. Ouch. That's pretty difficult to swallow when the first time I watched the movie was as a teen with a soft spot for Latinos! In fact, that cooled my jets nicely. At the time, I thought, "I'll do everything in my power to prove that white women don't see Latinos as trophies." Now my response is, "If y'all feel that way, I can get along just fine without you!"
