"Spanglish" is almost a great dramatic-romantic-comedy: the first half is excellent, but the situation of infidelity of Deborah Clasky, the character played by Téa Leoni, and the impossible love of Flor Moreno (Paz Vega) for John Clasky (Adam Sandler) simply destroy the good plot.
I liked the beginning, with the original application of Cristina Moreno to Princeton; the fight of classes, especially when Cristina goes to a private school and the dilemma of her mother is also a great moment. However, Deborah is quite neurotic, but is a good person, and her character is simply wasted by her infidelity. The declaration of love of Flor to John in the restaurant is also awful, and finishes with any good intention of her character to save the soul of her daughter from the corruption of the upper class world. I do not know why the writer made such stupidity with these unnecessary situations. Anyway, it is always delightful to see the beauty of Paz Vega, from " Lucía y el Sexo" and "El Otro Lado de la Cama", even in a Hollywood movie. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Espanglês"
