The Girls from the Revolutionary Cantina (2010)
Julia Juarez, a Mexican-American sales rep at a security firm, is trying not to get distracted by her sexy co-worker Ilario, who caught her snooping around his office and hasn't made eye contact with her since. When Ilario and Julia's best friend, Ime, a real estate mogul, hit it off at a Cinco de Mayo party, Julia is inwardly crushed but wants Ime to be happy. When her working relationship with Ilario turns hostile, Julia starts to worry about the future of her career. Her closest friends are also under pressure: Nina, the most timid of them all, is preparing to marry a man she's not sure she loves; Concepcion, a rebel and a wild child, is developing an obsession for a handsome actor wanted for the murder of his wife; and Marta, elderly owner of the Revolutionary Cantina, is drawn into a wacky plot launched by Concepcion. I did not want to put this page-turner down, there is so much happening at once yet it all ties in brilliantly. (AV)
