Synopsis:
John Clasky (Adam Sandler) is a devoted dad whose skills as a chef have afforded his family (TÉa Leoni, Cloris Leachman) a very upscale life, including a summer home in Malibu and a breathtaking new housekeeper, Flor (Paz Vega), who has recently immigrated to L.A. from Mexico, and is trying to find a better life for her remarkable daughter, Cristina (Shelbie Bruce), who is rapidly embracing the American way of life. When Flor and Cristina move in with the Claskys for the summer, Flor has to fight for her daughter's soul as she discovers that life in a new country is perilous...especially when you're being embraced by an affluent, eccentric American family!

CRITIC REVIEWS
Lew Irwin
Director-writer-producer James L. Brooks, who ordinarily receives rather glowing reviews from critics, is being banged about like a pi?ata by some of them for his Adam Sandler-starring movie Spanglish. Gene Seymour in Newsday writes that Brooks should be ashamed of himself for making such a dismal, befuddled mess. Lou Lumenick in the New York Post calls it this unpleasant comedy-drama. Eric Harrison in the Houston Chronicle concludes that the movie leaves you with nothing to think about, except for all the opportunities Brooks missed to make something worthwhile out of the material. But Wesley Morris in the Boston Globe praises Brooks as a poet, a realist, and a wizard when it comes to creating characters who could pass for real people. ... What he's come up with is one of the most humane works ever made about the lives of working mothers. Eleanor Ringel Gillespie in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution concludes that Spanglish isn't his best work, but it's infused with humor and humanity. And how many films offer either one? And Mike Clark in USA Today remarks: Spanglish is the one movie families search for every Christmas for an outing.

I've wanted to see this movie for a while and when I saw it was on sale for $4.95 I figured it was a good time to go for it. It's a decent movie. Not great, but enjoyable. Tea Leoni, as annoying as her character is, does a great job.
