What Parents Need to Know
About Real Women Have Curves
Parents need to know that Ana loses her virginity to her boyfriend. The couple is shown naked together in his bedroom (though nothing really racy is shown). Ana also lies to her parents to go on dates and encourages her coworkers to strip to their underwear at work. Her mother constantly insults her weight and calls her a slut in Spanish. Ana struggles with pleasing her family, growing up, and following her dreams, all in an environment in which poverty makes it very hard to get ahead.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about how body image is shaped by the movies that you see. How do you feel about how you look? Has your body image affected how you feel about getting into relationships? Especially for teenage girls, this film is a great opportunity to talk about how they cope with the stress of growing up and becoming independent while also caring about their families.

Great Movie
This movie has a lot of good messages such as loving youself the way you are. One scene especially when the women start compareing their bodies shows how women come in all shapes and sizes acceptance of who you are is important.
