Spanglish (2004) starring Adam Sandler, Tea Leoni, Paz Vega. In spite of its many flaws, I liked this movie. The greatest attraction is the Spanish actress Paz Vega, appearing for the first time in an English-language film. Vega plays an illegal immigrant from Mexico who gets hired as a housekeeper in the Anglo home of Adam Sandler and Tea Leoni. She is startlingly beautiful and appealing. Leoni is over the top, in a good way, as the rich housewife who doesn't quite know what to do with herself. Sandler is uncharacteristically subdued as her husband, a famous chef. Although some viewers may be disappointed in the film's resolution, I still found the overall experience gratifying. Grade: B.
