I had enjoyed this telenovela at first to help me with my Spanish but the storylines with subplots such as plastic surgery, feminisim, HIV in teenagers, drug abuse, sexual abuse, homosexuality, abortion, safe sex procedures, obesity, anorexia, bulimia, sterilization, leukemia, alcoholisim and mental illnesses. Having enjoyed the work of Mr. Camil from past work, it seems that the romantic comedy is something that he does very well no matter who he is matched up with. Ms. Bracamontes shows her talent and charisma in this and hopefully she and Mr. Camil return to this type of format in the future. Everyone should have a guilty pleasure and this should be it.

The soap was poorly edited I saw the full version and lots of things were missing. I understand that is the shortest version but it could include more details on things that were important for the viewer to understand somethings that happened through out the soap.

Las tontas no van al Cielo (920 minutes) is a telenovela (English captions) I liked so much I bought a copy from Amazon.com. Billed as a comedy, it still has the requisite melodrama, wildly passionate characters, evil plotters and misguided relatives, murder attempts and custody battles we expect from a telenovela.

Of course we see babies born out of wedlock, a runaway bride, a plastic surgeon, a teenager with HIV, a construction company that launders money for the Mafia, lots of DNA tests, seductions and philandering.

One of my favorite characters is one who becomes the rock the rest of the family orbits around: a gay man who had been banished from the "familia" for being gay. This ended up being unpredictable and the alternate ending they tacked on in the Extras is hilarious! I REALLY like Valentine Lanús!

Nunca vi la telenovela cuando la presentaron y tampoco se cuantas sub-historias habrán cortado en la edición para DVD.

Pero el DVD me gustó mucho, la historia está bien contada y no tiene fallas de edición, creo que lo más importante de la novela se mostró, además incluyeron otras historias a parte de la de los personajes principales y se entienden muy bien.
