Product Description

From Pantelion Films and Lionsgate. Grace (Eva Mendes) is a single mom. She is too busy juggling work, bills, and the very married Dr. Hartford (Matthew Modine), to give her daughter, Ansiedad (Cierra Ramirez) the attention she desperately needs. When Ansiedad's English teacher, Ms. Armstrong (Patricia Arquette), introduces her students to classic coming-of-age stories, Ansiedad is inspired to skip adolescence and jump-start her life without mom. While Grace becomes preoccupied with the increasing affections of her co-worker (Eugenio Derbez), Ansiedad enlists the help of her loyal friend, Tavita (Raini Rodriguez), to plot her shortcut to 'adulthood'. But as her misguided plan unravels, Ansiedad and Grace must learn that sometimes growing-up means acting your age.

5.0 out of 5 stars Endearing story, well played characters, and raw emotion with a happy ending..
Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2019

I really enjoyed "Girl In Progress". Eva Mendes is an amazing actress (as usual) and plays a strong single mom very well. I hadn't seen Cierra Ramirez in any anything before, but also thought her performance was excellent. She plays an out of control, frustrated, angry, but hurt teen desperately looking for attention, trying to figure out who she is and what she stands for, meanwhile she has an equally of of control mother who doesn't quite have her life together, and her priorities are all wrong, but at the end of the day -- she would do anything for her daughter. Anything. As a single mom myself (just not so wild and crazy) I can truly appreciate some of the tear-jerking moments they shared, and can tell you how genuine and realistic they were. As Cierra is running away from her crying and yelling, "Leave me alone, and "Go away". I have heard those exact gut wrenching words before- verbatim, and they are just as gut wrenching as they sound. Very touching coming-of-age story (quite literally), but with a happy ending. I will be watching again soon and recommending to friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars Growing pains, they never really end.
Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2013

Girl in Progress starring Eva Mendes and newcomer Cierra Ramirez is a really sweet and thoughtful film. I was never a big fan of Eva Mendes before I saw this indie flick. Mendes is pretty to look at, but her acting for me was never very strong. But I must admit, Mendes is extraordinary and fearless in Girl in Progress. Mendes plays Grace, a single mother who's young daughter decides to make me her own "coming-of-age" adventure to try and frazzle her absentee mom. Grace is a mess emotionally, she is having an affair with a married doctor, she's working 2 meaningless jobs, and she can't afford to pay for her daughter's private school tuition. Her daughter, Ann is young and precocious, she feels like her mom never pays attention to her which is sad but true. Ann is smart but she is neglected, her mom refuses to act her age and Ann wants to grow up too fast. Girl in Progress is a real and honest film, I thought the ending was satisfying and made me tear up a little. I highly recommend this underrated gem, enjoy! Kudos to Eva Mendes for getting out of her comfort zone!

In the past I was only in to certain dramas. But lately, I have built a love for other types.

This is a lovely story about a girl who has to grow up on her own. Where a mother is usually there to nudge her in the right direction, she had to learn on her own.

It's a wonderful story that is worth watching. And it does have a happy ending...

4.0 out of 5 stars A story with layers
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2019
Verified Purchase
So I gave this four stars instead of 5 because there are pieces of the movie where Eva Mendez's acting rubbed me the wrong way. I just kept watching and realized there are a lot of layers to this story. From my perspective the "Girl in Progress" is both the young girl and her mother. I appreciate the happy ending, because for me it gave me the opportunity to feel good afterward. Nowadays movies are trying so hard to reflect real life that you can often leave them feeling so heavy that you want to walk right out of the theater and into therapy. It's OK to feel good at the end of a realistic story, just let it happen. This is a good story and worth the watch.

The movie describes well about both mother and daughter's side of single parent household. I really liked how they overcome/realized the base issues and the movie showed the process what both sides go through which many families go through the similar situation. It made me feel I am not alone as I am also a single parent of teen girl. I loved it.

Eva is a fine actress. Her and the younger actress were phenomenal.

I am disappointed that Eva is not making movies anymore, I actually enjoyed all of them.

I hope Ryan appreciates what Eva has given up to care for their children. Maybe some movies didnt make as much money, so? It happens to best of them.

3.0 out of 5 stars Eine gute Coming-of-Age-Geschichte - mit misslungener deutschen Synchronisation...

Story (2)
Es gibt unendlich viele Coming-of-Age-Filme. Die Zeit des Erwachsenwerdens ist selbstredend ein spannender und intensiver Lebensabschnitt und deshalb auch für die Filmemacher immer wieder ein gerne verwendetes Thema.
Der hier vorliegende Streifen „Girl in Progress“ hat viele gute Ansätze, die in die richtige Richtung gehen und ebenso viele interessante und zuweilen sogar originelle Handlungsverläufe. Schauspielerisch ist der Film eindeutig auf Eva Mendes zugeschnitten, die jedoch meines Erachtens von Cierra Ramirez, die die Tochter verkörpert, übertrumpft wird. Während Mendes Spielweise oft etwas überspielt und künstlich wirkt, punktet Ramirez mit jugendlichem Charme und glaubhafter Performance.
Die Grundidee, dass die Tochter die Rolle der Mutter übernimmt, während die Mutter sich wie ein Teenie aufführt, ist natürlich nicht neu und wird hier dennoch recht pointiert und kurzweilig inszeniert. Die Dialoge strotzen nicht vor Intelligenz, sind jedoch für dieses Genre auf passablem Niveau.
Soweit so gut. Weshalb dann nur zwei Sterne für die Story, werden Sie sich fragen... Nun, ich muss voraus schicken, dass ich bei meinen Film-Rezensionen immer die deutsche Synchronisation beurteile und nicht die Originalversion. Und genau hier liegt der Hund begraben. Die deutsche Synchronisation gehört zum schlechtesten, was ich seit sehr langer Zeit zu hören bekommen habe. Das beginnt schon bei den Stimmen, die bei fast allen SchauspielerInnen unpassend wirken. Das Ganze wird durch eine völlig emotionslose Sprechweise noch verschlimmert, als hätten die Synchronsprecher vom Blatt abgelesen und wären dabei beinahe eingeschlafen - dabei ist der Film ja gar nicht so langweilig…

Fazit: Wirklich schade, ein an sich ansprechender Film, der durchaus vier Sterne verdient hätte, wird durch eine dilettantische Synchronisation zerstört - und dies so gründlich, dass mir nichts anderen übrig bleibt, als Ihnen von diesem Machwerk abzuraten; beziehungsweise zu empfehlen, sich den Streifen in der englischen Originalversion anzusehen…

Bild (4)
Das Bildseitenverhältnis liegt in 2.35:1 (Neues CinemaScope-Format) vor.
Die Bildschärfe bewegt sich auf beachtlichem Niveau. Bei dunklen Szenen werden Details zuweilen etwas verschluckt. Die Farben wirken etwas braunstichig, sind ansonsten jedoch natürlich. Der Schwarzwert bewegt sich im oberen Mittelmass.

Ton (4)
Das Tonformat liegt in DTS-HD Master 5.1 vor.
Die Tonumsetzung ist genrebedingt unspektakulär ausgefallen. Die Surround-Kanäle werden äusserst dezent ins Geschehen einbezogen. Eine Surround-Atmosphäre kommt nur bedingt auf. Während die Dynamik kaum gefordert wird, kann die Tonbalance voll und ganz überzeugen.

Extras (3)
Habe ich mir nicht angesehen. Es gibt ein WendeCover!

Fazit: In der deutschen Synchronisation ist der Film leider misslungen - es bleibt also zu hoffen, dass er vielleicht irgendwann neu synchronisiert wird - im Original ist der Film sehenswert. Die technische Umsetzung der Blu-ray ist auf der Höhe der Zeit, ohne jedoch Referenzwerte zu erreichen. Kann ich nur mit der oben erwähnten Einschränkung weiterempfehlen…
