To help with expenses, Magdalena is forced to wear a hand-me-down party dress and abandon her dream of arriving in a Hummer limousine. But when her father discovers she's pregnant and refuses to believe the incredible truth - she's actually still a virgin - Magdalena moves in with her elderly Uncle Tomas (Chalo González) and black sheep cousin Carlos (Jesse Garcia). Her newfound family is soon put to the test, however, when an unexpected crisis threatens to tear them apart, and Magdalena learns what it truly means to come of age.<p> <p> <p> <p> <p> <p> <p> <p> <strong><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="cc6600">Beyond <I>Quinceañera</I> at Amazon.com</font></strong> <table border="0" cellpadding="4" width="100%" cellspacing="4"><p> <p> <p> <p> <p> <p> <p> <p> <tr class="tiny" align="center" valign="top"><p> <p> <td><img border="0" src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0000SX9MS.01.TZZZZZZZ.jpg"> More Films about Coming of Age </td><p> <p> <p> <p> <p> <p> <td><img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B000FS2WJ4.01.TZZZZZZZ.jpg" border="0"> The Soundtrack</td><p> <p> <p> <p> <p> <p> <p> <p> <td><img src="http://images.amazon.com/images/P/0823416933.01.TZZZZZZZ.jpg" border="0"> <I> Celebrating a Quinceañera</I> Book</td> </tr><p> </table><p> <p> <p> <p> <p> <p> <span class="h1"><strong>Stills from <I> Quinceañera</I> (click for larger image)</strong></span> <table border="0" cellpadding="4" width="100%" cellspacing="4"><p> <p> <tr align="center" valign="top"> <td><img border="0" src="http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/sony/quin/Q1sml.jpg"> </td><p> <td><img border="0" src="http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/sony/quin/Q4sml.jpg"> <p> <td><img border="0" src="http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/01/dvd/sony/quin/Q2sml.jpg"> </td> </td> </tr> </table> Reader Reviews This movie was well done, although I believe it was a little too short and could have explored a little more of the story lines. But if you are of the latino culture you will know exactly what this family experiences and I am sure you can relate to the whole Quinceanera experience. Jesse Garcia is a great actor in the film and I think it's his character that really makes the movie worth watching.
