When flor their new housekeeper and her daughter move in with the claskys for the summer flor has to fight for her daughters soul as she discovers that life in a new country is perilous. Studio: Sony Pictures Home Ent Release Date: 04/25/2006 Starring: Adam Sandler Paz Vega Run time: 131 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: James L Brooks Amazon.com: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - This was a gift :)I love this film I just hope my auntie enjoyed it as much as I did... Rating:  - Suprised and loved itThis is a very good movie...I bought it and still watch it every now and then. The little girl narrating the film is amazing...and this is supposedly her first film. Paz Vega is a force of nature in her beauty and grace...no one in American film compares to her. Leoni plays a character that you just have to hate, but she pulls it off in a way that allows you to pity her at times. No one suffers like Adam Sandler....suprisingly well played by him. This is a funny and dramatic study of the culture ... Read More Rating:  - Don't let the name mislead youJames L. Brooks intended to do a comedy here but instead ended up with a human drama about family relations and culture clash. And yes, some situations are funny. Watch it, most probably you will like it too. Rating: - GibberishTo describe this film as a "chick flick" is to offend chicks everywhere. While it is clearly aimed at the adult, female, box of tissues, slumber party set - I cherish the notion that these individuals are far too smart and with it to be taken in by such twaddle. With the exception of Adam Sandler, (who couldn't act his age, much less act in a movie), the cast is excellent - so what's the problem? Primarily it's that Spanglish never settles in on an approach, a pitch, a point of view. At times it attempts, ...
