Spanglish, is about a woman named Flor Moreno, who lives in Mexico, with her daughter Cristina. They soon come to America and after having several jobs Flor, goes to an interview to start helping out around the house for a family named the Claskys. The family consists of the father John (who is a famous chef and owns his own restaurant and is a gentle and kind hearted father and husband), a mother named Deborah, who is a stay at home mom and is very self centered and ego centric), Deborah's mother named Evelyn Norwich (who is an alcoholic), a loving daughter named Bernice and their son Georgie. Flor, comes working for them having known no English and there is a language problem between her and the Claskys seeing as she doesn't speak English. Soon the family goes to their summer rental home and invite Flor to go with them and Flor, brings long her daughter Cristina. Flor, starts to learn English while Deborah, spends more time with Cristina, than her own children and their are problems occurring in John and Deborah's marriage. John, also starts to fall for Flor, and other situations come up with the family and Flor. Spanglish, has good direction, a good script, good performances by everyone involved, good original music, good cinematography and good film editing. Spanglish is from Academy Award winning director James L. Brooks, who has given us such masterpieces as Terms Of Endearment, and As Good As It Gets. This is his first film since As Good As It Gets, which was seven years ago. While, Spanglish is nowhere near as good as Terms Of Endearment and As Good As It Gets, it is still a good film. Spanglish, has good character development, interesting characters, it is humorous, touching, is full of charm and is an entertaining film. The film is entertaining but never gets as far as being a masterpiece like the director's previous work. But it is a sweet and touching movie that I enjoyed nonetheless and I hope that we don't have to wait another seven years to see another film by him.
