The only reason I picked it up is because I'm a huge Adam Sandler fan. The characters are well acted and the script is well written. It's funny, sweet, and at the same time heartbreaking. I really enjoyed this movie, but I do have some complaints, like I wish they had focused more on the clasky's kids. The son character is practically nonexistent in the movie, and I would have enjoyed more scenes so that we could learn more about how the daughter character is dealing with the rejection by her mother. But maybe it's best that they didn't as even without them the movie still manages to be great. And while the final product still pleases, I'm still left wondering what this movie would have been like if they had included them more. Still it's a great movie and one I do recommend. Expand

Adam Sandler egyik komolyabb hangvételű filmjéről van szó. Aki jól akar szórakozni, azoknak ajánlom.

The script bubbles with whimsy and intelligence. There are many laugh out loud moments, but the humor always emerges from characters naturally, and advances their development. Two families converge, a Mexican immigrant turned au pair and her pubescent daughter, and a successful chef, his wife, their son and daughter and her alcoholic mother. Nearly every adult family member hurts the others incidentally--most sadly their children--as they pursue their own, not unworthy goals. But through the grace of a platonic romance between the chef and au pair, the convergent families nudge each into mindful repair of their relationships and a healthier view of themselves. Wonderful acting, especially a superlative Tea Leoni. This movie inspires and delights so, you won't walk away from it, you'll float. And your feet won't have to touch the ground, for a little while at least. Expand

I really liked this movie. Mainly because I am Mexican-American and can relate to a lot of it. The spanish didn't pose a problem for me because duh! I understand it. I really would recommend this movie. It was awesome. ^.^

It's pretty understandable that some women dislike this movie, it leaves the average American women naked sex and emotionalwise. Awesome.

I have always enjoyed this movie. I enjoy the premiss and the plot is for the most part pretty good.

I enjoy the premiss and the plot is for the most part pretty good. The mom in this movie does bug me but her character is very important and you're not meant to like her all that much. I have watched this movie more than once and it's still a good time to watch a second or third time. I also like to see Adam Sandler in a more serious movie that's not always like his bad comedies. Spanglish is worth watching. Expand

I am not Mexican-American nor am I a huge fan of Adam Sandler, but I found this film to be surprisingly well-made and effective. I found Paz Vega in particular very good.

I think the first actual serious role I've seen Adam play? I liked the movie. The marriage felt real. Nothing else to really say. I just like the movie.
