Anyone familiar with writer/director James L. Brooks (Broadcast News, As Good As It Gets) knows the man has a real feel for interesting women and a disarming way with a one-liner. The main women in Spanglish are Deborah Clasky (Téa Leoni), a moneyed SoCal mom, and non-English speaking Flor Moreno (Paz Vega), the beautiful Latina whom Deborah hires as a housekeeper. The one-liners, some of them amusing, are everywhere. Brooks provides an intriguing set-up for the two women to butt heads--Deborah's pudgy daughter Bernice (Sarah Steele) needs the affection at which Flor excels, while Flor's clever, bi-lingual daughter Cristina (Shelbie Bruce) is enamored of the financial advantages Deborah can provide--then proceeds to make Deborah so hatefully ignorant you can't imagine why her neuroses are the main thrust of the film. And Deborah's celebrated chef husband John (Adam Sandler, way over his head) is such a perfect parent he doesn't seem human--what happened to the Brooks who had Terms of Endearment mom Debra Winger turn to her scowling little boy and grunt "Don't make me hit you in the street"? Cloris Leachman has a nifty supporting role as Deborah's boozy, ex-jazz singer mother, but it's only one offbeat chord in an earnest film that hits all the wrong notes. --Steve Wiecking

A GREAT Movie! July 26, 2009
Robert M Baird (North Georgia USA)
I first saw this free on netflix online. I had to have this dvd so since I bought it have watched it MANY times over! I like most all AS movies on some level. It shows human relationships in a real and positive light.
Touching Drama, Not Typical Adam Sandler Movie June 20, 2009
Dr. Jane Branam (Charlotte NC)
This is one of my favorite movies. It is a drama, not the slapstick type of Adam Sandler movie that you expect. It looks at culture, maternal love, being a good father while having a demanding career and how some children have to earn their parent's love, rather than getting the unconditional love they deserve. You will just hate how the mother treats her daughter in this movie, and love how the Latina housekeeper nurtures her. Don't let this movie get away; it is a heartwarming must see movie.
