Movie Haiku:Sweet update of Jane Austen''''s SENSE & SENSIBILITY. After their widowed father suddenly dies, Nora (Belle) & Mary (Vega) leave his Beverly Hills mansion & move in with their mother''''s sister in East LA. Film chops off most of Austen''''s auxilliary characters to focus on the sisters'''' growing awareness of their Latina heritage. Not yet seen by Rich.
