Espinoza Paz, Eva Mendes, Eugenio Derbez in Girl in Progress

For Eva Mendes' upcoming film GIRL IN PROGRESS, Mexican singers Espinoza Paz and Maria José team for a duet and the music video has arrived.  Titled "Asi O Mas" the original Spanish song is the official track to the film also starring Eugenio Derbez, Matthew Modine, Patricia Arquette and one to watch newcomer Cierra Ramirez.  Watch the music video.

Mexican regional singer Espinoza Paz teamed up with Maria José, a former member of the popular Mexican 90s pop band, Kabah for the Spanish language duet.  Espinoza Paz also makes his acting debut in GIRL IN PROGRESS playing Eugenio Derbez's cousin in the dramedy directed by La Misma Luna's (Under the Same Moon) Patricia Riggen.

In GIRL IN PROGRESS Grace (Eva Mendes) is a single mom, too preoccupied with “paying the bills” and herself to notice that her teenage daughter, Ansiedad (Cierra Ramirez) is in desperate need of her attention. When Ansiedad's English teacher, Ms. Armstrong (Patricia Arquette), introduces her students to classic coming-of-age stories, Ansiedad decides to jump start her own coming of age and all the pain associated with it, as a shortcut to “adulthood” and more importantly a life without her mom. As her misguided plan unravels, in some comedic yet poignant series of events, both Ansiedad and Grace must learn that sometimes growing-up means acting your own age.

GIRL IN PROGRESS is in movie theaters May 11, 2012.
