What's the Story?
WOMAN ON TOP tells the story of Brazilian chef Isabella (Penelope Cruz), who enchants as much with her beauty as with her saucepans' wind-blown aromas. Men follow her blindly, in droves. Wilting flowers leap to attention as she passes. Yet her relationship with her husband, Toninho (Murilo Beno), is less than satisfying, so when she catches him with another woman, she decides it's time to start her life anew. She moves to San Francisco, where her transvestite friend Monica lives. Isabella takes a job teaching a cooking class and catches the eye of TV producer Cliff, who decides she's perfect to host her own cooking show. But Toninho realizes he needs Isabella and pursues her to San Francisco.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this movie has lots of transvestitism, which is never explained. A few fiery expletives spoken jokingly, not in anger. A self-involved husband has at least one affair, then pursues his wife aggressively after she leaves him. Moderate but consistent salty dialogue and situations, including penile length references and an undulating, semi-clad cross-dresser; a glimpse of breasts. Some mild bar fighting in defense of a woman's honor. Families can talk about black magic.
