    8/10
    A Mexican immigrant takes on a new job and the paths of both families collide
    I started watching this just hoping for a few laughs, this being an Adam Sandler movie. Instead, I found a deep story dealing with issues relevant to real life: what are the values that define you as a person? What is acceptable and what is not? Why one has to draw the distinction between what feels good and what is good?

    Spanglish is a good movie backed up by some great performances by Paz Vega and Adam Sandler. Tea Leoni performs her role well and Cloris Leachman is an able support, at times adding a flavor of dry comedy.

    I won't reveal the plot. All I'll say is it is worth your time. A funny movie with a solid story and something to take away later.
