Spanglish



Honestly, I was surprised. This was actually a pretty good movie. Adam Sandler can really do serious films and not just comedies.

Tea Leoni's character wasn't bad either. At times I didn't like how she cried so much. She looked so damn awful. The jogging scenes were a little weird. I think she was yelling out "left" all the time but I wasn't 100% sure. But she was so damn insecure about everything, but played it really well!

Paz Vega was pretty convincing. Her facial expressions and her emotions looked so good. But Shelbie Bruce, who plays her daughter, was so damn good. Every translation, and mimicing the emotion and tone. It was fantastic. And to be so fluent in both langauges (not that I can tell, but she sounded good) was an amazing feat.

It was a good movie. One of those moving ones that teaches you to remember who you are.
