Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Alicia I love this movie so much

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

mark.waltz This touching drama with comedy throughout is a view of relationships that build with time, trust and character. Paz Vega is sincere, wide- eyed and curious, yet fearful of stepping out of what she knows as a Mexican lady who struggles with cultural conflicts with raising her bilingual daughter who herself is anxious to mix both of her cultures. As the maid to Tea Leoni, a neurotic Bel Air housewife who takes many liberties with her role as Vega's employer, especially with Vega's daughter, Shelbie Bruce, Vega becomes more important to everyone in the household. As Leoni becomes increasingly difficult, Vega spends more time with Leoni's daughter who teaches her better English and finds herself more involved in her employer's troubles than she wanted to be.Both comical commentary and sage wisdom are offered by Leoni's delightful mother (the scene stealing Cloris Leachman), a former singing star who loves her wine and sees her daughter for the mess she is, often siding with Sandler. Quite subtle for a change, Sandler is more of a reactor, and often it seems like he's dumbfounded by Leoni's often hammy performance. It seems like she's biting off more meat than she can swallow, and tried too hard to keep up with the Oscar winning Cloris. Young Sarah Steele is a nice find as Leoni and Sandler's chubby daughter who strives for typical awkward teen acceptance without becoming cloying.This isn't quite a masterpiece, but it is quite pleasing in spite of Leoni's forced performance and a few deep plot holes. Surprisingly well written and directed by Joseph Brooks, it is a bit of a sleeper and filled with some unpredictable moments. As Sandler and Vega bond, a different kind of love grows, and it becomes very revealing into all of these character's hearts. I didn't see the need however to tell this through flashbacks as it already seemed to be set in modern times and could have just added a prologue to wrap things up.

Arlinda As she runs, her black curls flowing in a stream of wild, uncontrolled tangles, she gasps for breath with every jolting step. Behind Flor, the blonde vixen casually jogs, her hair a tamed ponytail, not a strand of hair out of place or a movement of her body out of the ordinary for a jogger. As Flor struggles to maintain the lead in her race with the blonde and unaccepting Deborah Clasky, Deb shouts from behind that Flor's form is all wrong and she will never win a race by not adhering to the proper running techniques Deb learned at her American college. Flor is seen pushing herself with every step, her face strained with exhaustion, gasping for breath to keep herself in the race. As she fights to maintain her Mexican identity as an equal to Deb's Americanism, her sense of struggle is truly felt. When Deb outruns Flor, Flor is left jogging alone, still attempting to keep up. Will Flor be able to maintain her identity and provide a cultural life for her daughter, Christina, in a new and overwhelming country?The film Spanglish was directed by James L. Brooks and produced by Gracie Films Production Company. Released on December 17, 2004, it starred Adam Sandler as John Clasky, Tèa Leoni as Deborah Clasky, Paz Vega as Flor Moreno, and Shelbie Bruce as Christina Moreno. Adam Sandler's association with playing a goofy role adds a light- hearted comedic twist to the dramatic narration portrayed throughout the film. The film is told from Christina's point of view and conveys the struggles her mother feels after moving to a new and alien country. Flor attempts to raise her daughter in Mexico but eventually she realizes she needs to provide a better life for her daughter and immigrates to the United States searching for a city with the largest percentage of Spanish-speaking population so that they may feel welcomed into society. Eventually they settle on living in Los Angeles, California, which consisted of a 48% Spanish population. After living and working for 6 years in a predominantly Hispanic neighborhood, Flor decides she needs to immerse herself in the broader American culture in order to provide a better life for her daughter, and she begins working as a housekeeper for the Clasky family. Spanglish is about the struggle to become accepted into American society while still maintaining your cultural identity. Flor Moreno begins her new job without speaking a word of English. She often asks her daughter, Christina, to teach her English phrases and translate during family conversations. The entire family tries to communicate the little Spanish they know to display to Flor that as she struggles to learn a new language, they also struggle to learn Spanish. John Clasky is often seen attempting to communicate and understand Flor. All except Deb make the attempt. Flor begins to realize that Christina is embarrassed at having to translate for her mother all the time. Even after learning English there is still somewhat of a language barrier, which is where the term "Spanglish" comes from. She often mixes Spanish phrases along with her English in order to create an understanding of the words for herself. She also realizes that Christina begins to become ashamed of her Mexican culture. The movie becomes based on Flor's attempt to not only assimilate into American culture but also to help her daughter form and maintain a Mexican-American identity. During the movie, it becomes clear that Deb dislikes and disrespects Flor. She insults Flor's neighborhood by stating that she assumed that Flor and her daughter would move in to the Clasky house as her house is obviously better than "El Barrio." Deb also manipulates Christina into lying to Flor and throwing a party at the Clasky residence. After finally confirming through Deb's actions that she does not respect Flor and endeavors to cleanse Christina of her Spanish identity, Flor quits her job. Throughout all of her struggles she strains to help her daughter maintain her Mexican identity. Spoiler alert, by the end of the movie, Christina comes to the understanding that everything that angered her about her mother as a teenager has led her to identify as a Mexican-American in her adult life. The final words heard in the movie are a response to a college interview Christina attended. She states, "Your acceptance, while it would thrill me, will not define me. My identity rests firmly and happily on one fact: I am my mother's daughter." Finally, it is shown that although Christina wanted to become accepted into American society, she ultimately was not willing to risk her identity in order to do so. This movie displays the importance, as well as, the outcome of an immigrant raising their child to maintain a cultural identity. Individuals who identified with both their native cultures and American culture, such as Gloria Anzaldúa in "How to Tame A Wild Tongue" struggled to maintain their cultural identity and were hurt by Americans speaking badly about their culture. I would highly recommend this film, not only to immigrants, but also to the general society in order to understand acculturation in modern times. I loved this movie because as the first generation in my family born in America I realize how important it became my parents raised me to value my cultural identity. I realized how proud I am to identify as an Albanian-American whenever anyone comments on my faint accent and asks where I am from. My family has raised me to identify as an Albanian-American. Maintaining a balance between both has truly given me the feeling I was granted the best of both worlds. As immigration continues throughout the world, movies like Spanglish are significant in displaying the struggles faced in assimilating to new cultures. I would recommend this movie because I believe it is important to understand the hardships immigrants face in integrating in a new country. Spanglish provides both the voice and an understanding of immigrants in American society.

Seth Landers So much is wrong with this movie and I don't blame the cast because they all did a good job, it's the script that bothers me. Going into this, I expected it to be one of those non-formula Sandler pictures (no fart jokes, frequent outbursts, Rob Schneider, etc.) and what I got instead was a convoluted mess with a terrible ending. I have no issues with the guy doing dramatic roles but this didn't work in the slightest. Plus, the algorithm is messed up. Why is this turd of a film rated a 6.5???!!Adam Sandler plays a chef at a restaurant and his wife is an absolute psychopath. I'm not trying to be harsh but her character is a gold digging mooch of a whore. If I was in his shoes, I would have dumped the bitch around the 80-90 minute mark. This Paz Vega is gorgeous and she gives a decent performance.What I didn't like about this is how overlong it is and how things don't get resolved. I'm not saying make the movie short or resolve everything, but at least put more effort into it than this. You're praying that Sandler finally kicks out his ditsy wife and gets with Vega but that never happens. The biggest issue with Adam Sandler's character in this movie is that he's too much of a coward. There's a scene where he yells, "I QUIT THIS JOB TOO!" and yet does nothing about it. I'm trying not to spoil anything but the ending was so frustrating that I asked myself why I wasted two hours of my life on this junk.Avoid this garbage, this gets a 4 out of 10.

harryandsally I am still in awe of this movie's clear writing and spotless plot that moves me every time. I love the words of this film, both Spanish and English. Subtle, tender, beautiful picture of the complicated world behind the doors of a family's home. Each actor embodies his/her role so well. James Brooks really took the time to make this movie time-tested and something very special.My favorite scene is in the restaurant with Adam Sandler and Paz Vega. It is poetic and bittersweet and real and so beautifully done. Him describing her beauty, him setting his glass of vodka down, their feet almost toughing the floor, each moment takes you to where they are. This love that cannot be. I loved Spanglish before I had kids, and now that I have kids it is even more poignant. Touches on the hard aspects of parenting, being a spouse, and being a kid.
