Spanglish

The state of an affluent California family on the brink of disaster, as seen through the eyes of their newly hired Mexican housekeeper (Paz Vega). Writer-director James L.
Brooks mines plenty of emotional truths, while Adam Sandler holds his own against the impressive female cast – particularly Tea Leoni as his cripplingly insecure wife and Cloris Leachman as her cheerfully alcoholic mother.
