Spanglish is a warm-hearted, friendly movie, which, for some reason, has received mixed reviews. In many ways, it has the same feel as Sideways (interestingly, Thomas Haden Church has a tiny part as a real estate agent. Blink and you'll miss him). The actors convey a true connection to each other. Sarah Steele plays the overweight teen with believable emotion. Shelbie Bruce as the housekeeper's bilingual daughter who must translate for her mother and who is entranced by the Claskey's affluence, is equally endearing.

For most Spanglish is not the type of film that will change their outlook on life. The motifs are ones that will be recognized immediately, as its themes have been played over and over again in cinema. There are some cute moments and a few laughs, but they are dropped in too far apart on a film that is about twenty minutes too long. Despite the detriment that Tea Leoni brought to the rest of the cast, there are still some performances that make Spanglish worth watching. Combined with the nice set of extras Columbia Tri-Star provides, the film is at least worth a rental. It’s a nice film for a quiet evening in with the family or for a dinner and a movie date, but it’s re-watch value is dismal.

"Spanglish" is the type of movie you have to watch with your mind and your heart. It has a lot to say about love and life. Director James L Brooks knows what he wants his movie to do and how he wants it to do it. He never falters from his vision.
