A Latina lesbian accepted by her family is a refreshing change to see in the film world. Young Anna’s (Melonie Diaz) problem is not her sexuality but normal growing pains. She’s figuring out who she is, getting comfortable in her own small-chested body, and dealing with complications in relationships. Her journey starts when she, by chance, meets Sadie (Nicole Vicius) and gets drawn into a radical, micro feminist group called Clits in Action. The silly stunts C(i)A perform are not important to the film because the plot is all about Anna’s coming of age and standing up for herself.

Girls who ‘remember when’ will appreciate the Blondie-esque music, Sadie’s Jennifer Tilly like voice, and the small part by Guinevere Turner (Go Fish). All girls will enjoy the couple of scenes with Daniela Sea whose character Calvin is much like that of Max who she plays on The L Word.

The LGBT Kick Butts programs would probably agree that there’s way too much smoking in this film. And another problem I had was with an answering machine being used as a device for Anna to hear from girls without picking up the phone. She has a cell phone so there’s no reason for her to have her own landline at her parents’ house. The good news is, by the end of the film we know she’ll be moving away from home soon.
