Plot Summary: In "Spanglish," the beautifully observed comedy/drama from acclaimed multiple Oscar-winning writer/director/producer James L. Brooks ("As Good as it Gets," "Terms of Endearment"), Flor (Paz Vega), a beautiful, native Mexican woman becomes the housekeeper for the affluent, yet troubled, Clasky family (headed by Adam Sandler and Téa Leoni). The result is a wittily perceptive collision of cultures and values, and a refreshingly honest look at such life-altering commitments as marriage, parenting and devotion to family.

Have you ever noticed that in every Adam Sandler movie he either gets punched or he punches someone? I wonder if this holds true in this movie....

Sandler must have some freaky violence fetish or something

That young teenage girl gained 20-25 pounds for her role. Then lost it all. Then gained it BACK cuz they had to do re-shoots.

She's a mini Renee Zellwigger!

(and he dad is a nutritionist)

Wish it was that easy. I'm really good at gaining it, but don't see bulimia in my future in order to lose that much that quickly.

Zellwegger!

awwwwww....poor kid. She had to lose 25 pounds twice! I hope she got paid well for her role. She did a good job.

I got to watch most of this movie yesterday. The parts I saw were really good. It was a nice mixture of comedy and drama. I didn't notice Sandler getting punched in the face in this one but I haven't seen the whole thing yet. I wouldn't be surprised if he does.

Took the old lady to see this tonight. Major chick flick. Adams wife drove me fricken nuts so bad that I could not really get into it. But the eye candy (flor) made it bearable. The wife really enjoyed it. The folks around us seemed to enjoy it as well.

I just watched it. I thought it was a little long at 135 minutes. Sandler was surprisingly good in his most dramatic role that I’ve ever seen him in.

Paz Vega is hot...

typical chick flick, but half decent. No need to ever see it again though.
