There are recognizable characters like a charming prince (Tim Benson), a damsel-in-distress princess (Delia Mejia), a witch (Sarah LeClair), the baker’s wife (Jamie Feinstein), along with her baker husband (BJ Robinson), of course, and a narrator (Gigi Filipovich). Yet, they get a feminist do-over that I believe is truly a redemption and justice with very pertinent questions like “what is the name of the baker’s wife?” mhhh. Things that should be a given and pass unnoticed.

Inspired by Lim’s family, Mia (Aury Krebs) is a talented, hustling, and struggling musician-songwriter who lives out of a suitcase, traveling between underpaid gigs. When she receives a phone call from her sister Charlotte (Courtney Reed) asking her to come home due to her mom being gravely ill in the hospital, Mia hesitates but gets on a plane anyway. Once back, the prickly family dynamic picks up where it left off with mom Sylvia (Jodi Long) and dad Henry (Paul Nakauchi) scolding Mia while swooning over he brother Daniel (Marc delaCruz), which I need to point out is a total cultural thing in many families, not just the Asian ones.

I had a sense of some time travel, but that was it, and it was far from what I had imagined. I was expecting more of a Sliding Doors play.

Desde la introducción empiezan los cuestionamientos, la incertidumbre y la injusticia: “¿Qué soñaba ser tu madre? Fuera lo que fuese, casi seguro que se quedó en el tintero.” La recalcada diferencia de cómo hasta estos días en 2026, los hombres prácticamente lo pueden hacer todo

Normalmente, cuando un libro inspira un formato cinematográfico, este no supera lo escrito. En el caso de Prada, es lo contrario. (Con el libro de Wicked, parecido, pero ese es tema para otra entrada). Y es que la guionista Aline Brosh McKenna le dio una buena sarandeada al libro de Weisberger, resultando en una película muy pop, pero también con mensaje. No solamente con respecto a la moda, al consumismo, a la fijación por el cuerpo esbelto de la mujer, etc. Hay mensajes sobre la relación de pareja, el equilibrio entre la vida y el trabajo, las luchas de poder y la traición en el mundo corporativo.
