Paz Vega shines, and Adam Sandler gives a performance of thoughtfulness and depth, but Spanglish is ultimately undermined by sitcommy plotting and unearned uplift. Read critic reviews

I don't get the hate for this film, but one for certain is that I love it. The story is about a struggling mother (Paz Vega) and her daughter moves to America in California in hopes of having financial security. She ends up living with a Wealthy couple. One is insecure (Tea Leoni) and spends her time in a mental hospital, and one is a chef (Adam Sandler), and his career turns upside down after his restaurant received a 4 star review. The plot was well-written from start to finish. Although I'm not really a big fan of Sandler, he did prove all of us wrong about him being the worst actor. If only he acted this way in most of his movies, then everyone will think of him as a genius. Perhaps he should quit producing and stick to acting. Paz Vega did a terrific job on her part, and she deserved that Gloden Globe. Tea Leoni did pretty well just like in most of the movies she had been in. This movie is underrated and deserved to top the box office, but I guest the movie has to be more "entertaining" in order to be well-known for the world. It may not be entertaining, but at least it's a well-developed movie with a well-detailed story, well-performed actors, and everything else for that matter. Funny but also heartwarming as well.

a comedy mixed with taste and laughs of it's own! James L. Brooks has crafted a terrific comedy that is hillarious, yet with a sense of heartbroke. adam sandler is terrific and hillarious, as usual. a comedy full of flare, taste, language, humor, heartbroke, and a special technique in feeling! James L. Brooks has done it again of crafting yet another perfect comedy! A+

"Spanglish" is the lesser of James L. Brooks' directorial efforts mainly because he is trying so obviously for cultural commentary. His films are better when he is showing a character's nuance objectively ("As Good As It Gets"). While "Spanglish" is not a bad film by any stretch of the imagination, it just does not go as far as it should. It's narrative is hindered by the way it's delivered and it unfortunately keeps us at a bit of an arms length from the characters. I enjoyed all the performances, especially Tea Leoni for being so aggressively unlikable, but in the end, you never have much to truly tether yourself to.

I liked it, even though it is really dull in some areas!
