Eva Mendes plays Grace, a single mother working two jobs who has no time to help her daughter grow up. She is too busy juggling work, bills, and the very married Dr. Harford, to give her daughter, Ansiedad (Cierra Ramirez) the attention she desperately needs. When Ansiedad’s English teacher, Ms. Armstrong, 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, Mission Impossible (Eugenio Derbez), Ansiedad enlists the help of her loyal friend, Tavita, 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.
This movie is something you don’t see every day, She is a parent with good intentions that fails to exhibit good behavior. Ansiedad researches adolescent rites of passage and maps them out on her bulletin board, planning to demonstrate potential and blow it and infiltrate the popular crowd and betray her best friend and lose her virginity in the course of a couple weeks.
The good thing is this movie is full of talented young actors and tell a smoothly structured, easily digestible story with an emotionally satisfying climax. Ansiedad will break your heart especially with her emotions and feelings.

GalaTView talked to Jennifer Lawrence (Katniss): “My career sees a pattern and I don’t know what else to do. My character was already in my mind and nobody has seen her before so most people already had created pictures and idea of what your character is. When I read and how understood her in my perception about my understanding what I’m preparing her in the movie. My defense is like Justin Timberlake sings, one girls was painted but it was never on me and the guys over signed me and I said in between and Liam and Josh started to say something in Australian accent because somebody passed out and where I was barely have a chance to pronounce my name. I had training in running, triathlon, art climb, combat and yoga. Mentally I had many dreams about 100% were involved and I like to stay in a good shape doing something mainly with cardio exercises. At the top on my characters’ dialog has been described in the book but even you read it is different. Our director was genius when we filmed in an open area because is harder doing in a studio. The adapters of this film were amazing and sometimes I had some complications in my emotions in the cameras but I could solve them because we always trusted on the director.”
Josh Hutcherson (Peeta):“I think that Peeta is more unspoken intention we had whipping and shoot each other and it was an awesome experience and technically and physically, I had to prepare myself in a good way with fiber, protein and the training of each other. For some dialogues in the book do not the same it has popular understand so the audience will notice some changes. In some scenes most of us took very serious some instructions about film. When you are hearing games you can make jokes but not we were more serious, especially when he becomes skillful in hiking and had love in the story so that was a good motivation. So I had to understand his kindness through his mother and find a way ho was going to work out in the movie in the exposition of the dialog.”
