This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The main theme of the film is 'showing that you love'. The comedy is a little oversimplified and uneven, though but for a clunky period following the prelude it's a film that could easily have merited a higher recommendation. The performances are all good. Spanish beauty Paz Vega is charming, and Adam Sandler gives a very thoughtful portrayal. Altogether they produce a moving story about family problems and self-identity.

I started watching this just hoping for a few laughs, this being an Adam Sandler movie. Instead, I found a deep story dealing with issues relevant to real life: what are the values that define you as a person? What is acceptable and what is not? Why one has to draw the distinction between what feels good and what is good?Spanglish is a good movie backed up by some great performances by Paz Vega and Adam Sandler. Tea Leoni performs her role well and Cloris Leachman is an able support, at times adding a flavor of dry comedy. I won't reveal the plot. All I'll say is it is worth your time. A funny movie with a solid story and something to take away later.

from the director of as good as its gets James l brooks comes a quirky ~ but crazy family story we meet Flor and her daughter escaping for a new life in America from Mexico her daughter is well able to hold her own with her mother as her mother looks for a job she finds a job as housekeeper jobs with the claskys an all American family misfits of a chef john clasky playing it straight as devoted dad and passion for cooking he is a owner of a restaurant which is crazy busy he had downgraded from new York to 3 stars but likes he life with out constraints we meet his kids his alcoholic mother and his eccentric wife who acting strange like a midlife crises so Flor comes and gets the jobs but feels that he child is being taking by the claskes wife as she is buying her daughter life and feels her daughter is moving away from her Flor has to fight with herself to learn the language and love and passion to love her daughter and not get involved in the family claskys martial issues things come to a head in this dramedy so what does Flor do stay or go 7/10 this film is 2hrs long it doesn't feel like that my 66 review

I really enjoyed this, I've seen it a couple of times now and its funny, touching, thoughtful and filled with strong performances from everyone.The movie is essentially about family and mostly about the woman involved. Adam Sandler's character as the dad is just treading water throughout the deranged females in his life. I liked Sandler in this semi-serious role -which I haven't been able to say about him too much lately. His character shows depth and I loved the interactions with his daughter.Téa Leoni is also excellent, really putting the crazy in dysfunctional and super fun to watch. Her character is a disparaging mess and does some terribly selfish things but you can't seem to hate her for it. Cloris Leachman provides a lot of laughs in a background sort of role as her Leoni's alcoholic-ish mother.The story pretty much revolves around Paz Vega, who is (beautiful)& scene stealing as a Mexican maid who tries to make a better life for herself and her daughter by taking a job with an affluent L.A couple.The movie isn't perfect and does waffle a bit, especially towards the end when love is introduced to the storyline. 5/18/15
