Spanglish (2004) Review

This film is told through the eyes of Christina as she tries to get into Princeton and she talks about how family is the most important thing that someone can have. She tells the college about when she and her mother Flor (Paz Vega) came to the United States to work for John Clasky (Adam Sandler) and his wife Deborah Clasky (Téa Leoni).

Flor could speak no English, so she relied on Christina to translate, and to say that John and Deborah were unhappy is to put it mildly. They were miserable. Over the summer, the family moved to the beach house, and now used to the services of Flor, Deborah insisted that she come along, and that meant that Christina needed to come too.

About Celluloid Heroes

Welcome to Celluloid Heroes! Here you will find movie reviews of all shapes and sizes. No stone is left unturned, and that is meant quite literally. In fact, you are probably quite unlikely to find the best of the best, as that's something that you can find elsewhere. Here you're more likely to find the dregs of the movie world than anything else.

As to the name? It's actually from a song by The Kinks, and while it may or may not have something directly to do with movies, it does mention quite a few movie stars and things that make you think about movies, and well, it just seemed appropriate. Hopefully you'll agree, and if not, I suspect it won't get in the way too much.

Thanks for visiting, enjoy your stay, and come back often..
