Spanglish

A COMEDY WITH A LANGUAGE ALL ITS OWN.

spanglishIllegal immigrant Flor Moreno (Paz Vega) becomes a housekeeper in John Clasky’s (Adam Sandler) household, a home where everybody has issues to deal with. This film feels like a typical James L. Brooks experience; it even has ingredients similar to Terms of Endearment (1983). It is also another attempt by Sandler to broaden his range; heā€™s OK as the overly cautious master chef. Cloris Leachman has fun as his hard-drinking mother-in-law and Vega is reasonably charming as the housekeeper. But TĆ©a Leoniā€™s annoying behavior and the film’s omnipresent mediocrity are drawbacks.
