Real Women Have Curves
Take Chances. Have Flaws. Embrace Life.
Should she leave home, go to college and experience life? Or stay home, get married, and keep working in her sister's struggling garment factory?
It may seem like an easy decision, but for 18-year-old Ana, every choice she makes this summer will change her life.
At home, she is bound to a mother who wants her to become someone she's not. But at school, she's encouraged by a teacher who sees her potential, and adored by a boyfriend who loves her for who she is.
Right now, Ana may be making clothes for less shapely women. But she's about to discover that real women take chances, have flaws, embrace life and above all, have curves!

Very real, a must see! - kashyma
I loved this movie, it is a must for every woman to see. It shows how no matter what size a woman is, what age she is, she has issues with her self image.
But that all that really matters is to be happy with yourself, what you are doing, & who you are. And for the girl in this movie it is very had due to a very traditional family setting, one where her mother places all the emphasis on her weight & whether she is married or not. Her mind, heart, & what she wants mean nothing to her mother.I am a Real Woman - Callie1983
As a fat girl I struggled with some of the things she did at the beginning... An overbearing mother who would call me fat and low self confidence about my body... this is a movie that all big women should watch... and they should make a sequel... The factory scene was one of the best and shows that all women come in different sized and shapes... (and even though I will probably never follow it) it tells us that there is really nothing to be ashamed of or to hate about our bodies...Shake what your mama gave ya - Amelie1
In a generation where size matters, this movie is a great reminder to all that we all have hearts and minds regardless of our jean size. The mother in this movie Cracks me up! she is so funny. The mother is stuck in the past with illogical traditions that she is trying to impose on her "troubled" daughter. Basically, the daughter is too smart for the ways of the past. The movie is funny, touching, creative and great acting all throughout.
