In a small and remote Latin American mountain village, all the men are recruited to fight in the country's civil war. Left to fend for themselves, the women of the town, led by Rosalba, slowly emerge from their supporting roles as wives and daughters to become unwitting founders of a remarkable new society: an all female utopia.

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined
Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated
RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
ThrillMessage There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.
QuirkyCat I try to avoid writing negative reviews and never have I rated a movie 1 out of 10. There's always a first. From the pathetic story to the terrible acting, this is the biggest waste of time ever. It makes out like Christian Slater has a big role...alas, he has minimal screen time. Without rambling on, give this one a big miss.
ettinger_lee Wow - those folks that wrote nasty reviews must be too serious! I thought this was a super cute film. Very funny premise, and handled the sexy comedy really cute I thought. I was especially pleased with the way Christen Slater was added to the story line. Smaller films are harder to make - everyone in the business knows this. Yet this Director got some big and medium names to fill out clever casting choices. Well done I say! Honestly - some of the scenes just had me laughing out loud - they were just what you want out of a light hearted, cute, escape from reality, fun film for an hour and half.Its both light hearted kind of sexy - yet empowering for women. Didn't anyone else see that? You don't always have to be super serious to get your message across. Bottom line - watch this cute little film and you will be glad you did - I guarantee it!!Cheers and happy movie watchinglee
Krish kk A nice movie to get your time pass with the hot Mexican actress and good story line on which their husbands has been taken away for war and all the wives left in the town. A very well pictured artistically about a small Latin town.A very good feel to watch this movie.It is the story adopted from "Tales from the Town of Widows" by -James CañónThe Plot starts with the narration of a church father of the small town scene in which government authorities capture men from a small town to let them fight in the war. Many of those men try to escape from the officers but still they were caught and only church father is left along with another guy(who is a jerk and henpecked) who been dressed up like a woman with the help of his wife is left in the town and the rest of the other men were taken away. Slowly the absence of men in that little town leads a miserable life to their wives and all the wives discuss to solve the issue by themselves. The Mayor's wife(Eva Longoria) leads the town as a new mayor and others follow their husbands roles in the town like doctor, police, milkman etc.The only problem is how to reproduce their heirs without their men thinking their men will return from the war or not. In this scenario all the ladies think to have an intercourse with the church father in order to make children. The church father who sleeps with lot of women in the town but unable to produce any children as he later reveals that he is an impotent and he runs away from the town as all the women beats him to go away. A new woman(Kate del Castillo) shows up in the town with little manly looks in her and she will be attracted by the lady mayor. Then the story goes on with lust full nature of these 2 women and a man(Christian Slater) from war arrives the town unintentionally, that man is attracted by all the women in the town but he refuses for their proposition and let the men in the war know that their wives are waiting for their men. Later at the end all men will return from the war to meet their wives.
mediaexpert Get your friends, get your popcorn and simply sit back and relax. The film is lighthearted, funny and vivacious, Eva Longoria shows she can indeed carry a movie, Christian Slater is so charismatic and especially Fernanda Romero sticks out in the cast. A new star is born. A town without men bares its challenges an when even the priest fails to keep the women in line and his fertility is an issue, you know you are in for an interesting ride. Tagliavini proves herself as a savvy screenwriter AND director both, sticks close to the book, yet gives its own strength and colors. The cinematography is stunning...matched by wonderful score. All in all simply a movie to love.
