What We Liked



While "Head Over Heels" had many ups and downs, there were some standout elements that caught our attention:




Alexandra Castillo as Delaney Diaz: For many of us, Alexandra Castillo was the star of the show. Playing the demanding boss, Delaney Diaz, she brought a level of sophistication and talent that elevated the film. Her portrayal of a Miranda Priestly-esque character from "The Devil Wears Prada" was both cliche and refreshing.
