Evita is the musical story of Eva Duarte de Peron, the spirited leader of Argentina in the 40's. Eva rises above poverty and a scandalous past to marry Argentine leader Juan Peron. She helps his campaign and he becomes President, catapulting her into a position of great power and influence. Eva is played by Madonna and Antonio Banderas is Che, the narrator to the story who always happens to be where Eva is (big conincidence). The supporting cast includes Johnathan Pryce as Peron, and Jimmy Nail as Eva's former lover, the singer Agustin Magaldi. Mild Sex, Violence, and Language make this film innapropriate for anyone under the age of tweleve though. But if you decide this film is alright for your child, you will love it!

This movie was delightful! The singing was wonderful, and I LOVE Antonio Banderas' voice! Even more than Gerard Butler in Phantom of the Opera. There is some content. The sex is mentioned in CSM's review, but there is more language than they mention including d-mn, h-ll, God's name in vain, -ss, and some others. So be cautious when you watch this movie. I recommend an edited version, such as ClearPlay DVD Player (clearplay*)
