Real Women Have Curves (2002)
Real Women Have Curves (2002) is a movie that celebrates the beauty of all body types. It follows the story of Ana, a Mexican-American teenager who is struggling to find her place in the world. The movie is filled with moments of sexual tension and exploration as Ana navigates her way through adolescence.
The movie begins with Ana's mother, Carmen, trying to encourage her daughter to lose weight. Carmen is a traditional Mexican woman who believes that Ana should be more concerned with her appearance than her education. This sets the stage for a conflict between Ana and her mother throughout the movie.
The movie also explores the sexual awakening of Ana. She is attracted to a boy at school, but is too shy to act on her feelings. She also has a crush on her teacher, which leads to some awkward moments. As Ana begins to explore her sexuality, she also begins to explore her body. She begins to wear more revealing clothing and takes more risks with her appearance.
The movie also features a few scenes of Ana and her friends discussing sex and relationships. They talk about their own experiences and share advice with each other. This is a great example of how young women can talk openly about sex and relationships without feeling embarrassed or ashamed.
Overall, Real Women Have Curves is a movie that celebrates the beauty of all body types. It also explores the sexual awakening of a young woman and the importance of self-acceptance. It is an inspiring movie that encourages young women to be comfortable with their bodies and to embrace their sexuality.
Sex and virginity are discussed a few times throughout
A mother grabs her daughter's boobs and makes a comment about them (she is dressed)
A teenage girl buys condoms, she is then seen kissing a boy while sitting on a bed, she takes off her shirt and she is seen in her bra and he is seen shirtless while still making out. She pulls out a condom and gives it to him. She then stands in front of a mirror naked and asks him to look at her to see how she looks like (nothing is seen we only see her from the shoulders up). Although this scene is not very graphic, it is pretty lengthy.
A girl briefly opens up her bathrobe and looks at herself in the mirror (no nudity)
Some women of various sizes undress to their bra and underwear in front of each other and point out their own cellulite and stretch marks. The context is not sexual
A boy briefly looks at a girl's breasts (she is dressed) and there is a small comedic back and forth about this
