Grace (Eva Mendes) is a single mom who is often too busy juggling her job, bills and two love interests (Matthew Modine, Eugenio Derbez) to pay much attention to her daughter, Ansiedad (Cierra Ramirez). Inspired by the coming-of-age stories her English teacher (Patricia Arquette) introduces in class, Ansiedad decides to skip adolescence and jump-start her life without her mother. But, when the misguided plan unravels, Ansiedad and Grace must both learn that growing up means acting your age.

Critics Consensus

Despite a well-intentioned and novel premise, Girl in Progress is plagued by jarring tonal shifts and does little to break its characters out of clich茅.

Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online At its core, Girl in Progress is an endearing mother-daughter portrait reminiscent of Cristina and Flor in Spanglish that is a little bit Gilmore Girls, mixed with a dash of Mermaids. Rated: B+ •  Sep 8, 2017 Full Review Nathan Rabin AV Club It wants audiences to know it's in on the joke though it's not always apparent that there even is a joke in the first place.

Carlos T Minha opini茫o: A atriz Eva Mendes sumiu das telonas, uma pena pois sempre gostei de sua atua莽玫es. Este 茅 um dos 煤ltimos trabalhos dela. Uma com茅dia teen, que retrata a falta de relacionamento de m茫e e filha. Pois ela 茅 m茫e solteira. E Cierra que 茅 filha quer se tornar adulta e independente e fugir para LA. Para isso ela cria toda uma estrat茅gia de boa mocinha, para se tornar m谩 e perder a vingidade e assim ir. No quisito se tornar m谩 consta tamb茅m perder sua melhor amizade que 茅 Raini. Enquanto isso Eva 茅 uma gar莽onete e trabalha na casa de um m茅dico, que ela tamb茅m 茅 amante dele. Mas ele n茫o tem grande compromisso com ela e sim apenas s3x0. Na verdade a protagonista aqui 茅 Cierra. E at茅 chegar o momento que tudo isso entra em colapso. E a verdade vem atona daquilo que estava cheio o cora莽茫o. E ser谩 que o amor, amizade e familia vencer谩? Roteiro e enredo 茅 um pouco atrapalhado. Vale apena assistir? Sim Nota: 5 Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/14/23 Full Review darren h I liked it. It doesn't quite follow cinematic norms but it was still good. The performances were endearing. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review
