Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/08/24 Full Review Erik B Melodramatic and all over the place. I'm not really sure I got the point of the film. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/04/24 Full Review Frances D Classic movie! Well written, with a lovely cast! It brought culture, diversity, laughter, romance, and, drama. I'd love to see a part 2, and see how the characters evolve, and perhaps reunite love? Lastly, I have probably watched this movie a hundred times! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/15/23 Full Review Robert W I always watch a DVD movie last thing at night before going to bed, so qualify as an expert and if asked my opinion of the film Spanglish I can answer this question with three words: Zero, Zilch, Crazy. The the leading female actors scored *8,*9, with great perfomances from Paz Vega, Tea Leoni, Cloris Leachman and Shelbie Bruce, ruined by a completely crazy storyline, this was not a film it was a disaster movie. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/09/23 Full Review Sanad A A Compelling Blend of Comedy and Drama I must say, there is something truly captivating about the film Spanglish! With a fabulous cast and a compelling storyline, it has the potential to entertain every member of your family. The performances are outstanding, particularly Paz Vega, who effortlessly portrays Mexican Flor Moreno, and Adam Sandler, who showcases his versatility as both a dramatic and comedic actor. Tea Leoni also shines in her role as a neurotic American housewife, almost stealing the spotlight from everyone else. And let's not forget Shelbie Bruce, who impressively portrays Flor's bilingual and bicultural daughter, Cristina. However, it's important to manage your expectations before watching the film. While it is a must-see for all Hispanics who have lived or spent a significant amount of time in the U.S., Spanglish does have its flaws. James L. Brooks, the producer, director, and writer, seems to have become overly enamored with his own work, resulting in some excessive moments. The film's runtime of over 2 hours feels a bit dragged out, and it would have been more enjoyable if a few scenes had been trimmed. In terms of production values, Spanglish excels in most areas, even surpassing expectations. However, there are moments of lackluster scriptwriting and direction, particularly when it comes to the main characters, with an over-reliance on mugging facial close-ups that don't always feel natural. Additionally, the film tries to convince us that someone can achieve tremendous proficiency in English within a short span of 2 or 3 months, which requires a significant suspension of disbelief. If only learning languages were that easy for all of us! Despite these few weaknesses, Spanglish is guaranteed to leave a lasting impact on you. I would rate it a solid 7 out of 10. This review has been carefully crafted in accordance with IMDb guidelines, ensuring that it meets all the necessary standards and points mentioned therein. I sincerely hope that you find this review helpful and that it enhances your viewing experience. Enjoy! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/05/23 Full Review Ana M Boring. Not funny.
