How the Garcia Girls Spent Their Summer is a 2005 American comedy film starring Elizabeth Peña.

Her gardener, a man named Don Pedro offers to teach her, and the relationship gradually turns from platonic to romantic.

Meanwhile, Doña's daughter, Lolita, is torn between her co-worker at the butcher shop where she works and Victor, a married man who frequently makes passes at women around town.

Seventeen-year-old Blanca falls for the new guy in town and learns about the joy and pain an intimate relationship can bring.

Most of the dialogue is in English, with occasional humorous digressions of old men sitting around talking in Spanish about their past experiences with cars and women.
