Movies from Hell: Satanisgreat's Movie Reviews Revived
There are always bitches who try to steal them!
There are no 'knowns'. There are thing we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say there are things that we now know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know. So when we do the best we can and we pull all this information together, and we then say well that's basically what we see as the situation, that is really only the known knowns and the known unknowns. And each year, we discover a few more of those unknown unknowns.

Spanglish
Oh...the things you have to endure when you're trying to get pussy...
I only had only heard of the name of this movie before I was basically forced into watching it. I figured it would be at least somewhat funny with Adam Sandler starring in it and James L. Brooks directing. I was wrong, however.
If you didn't know, this is a drama through and through. It's actually not too bad for the genre. Melodrama is more like it.
The movie is about a Mexican-American immigrant who comes to America with her mother. Her mother gets a job as a maid for a rich, famous chef (Adam Sandler) and gets tangled up in the day to day affairs of the family. The mother is a controlling bitch who is obsessed with making her daughter thin. Once you see the daughter, it's going to take more than getting her to be thin to make that look good. She is by far the ugliest creature to walk the Earth, and gets a few unintentional sight gags and just plain gags.
The maid ends up interferring with the American family, which maids aren't supposed to do apparently. She decides to learn how to speak English so she can figure out what's going on. Hence the name Spanglish.
She starts to get involved with Sandler, and the wife starts fucking around on him. The language barrier is disolved by love, blah blah blah mother/daughter relationships blah blah life lessons blah. Writing about dramas is boring.
If you're interested at all in seeing a two plus hour soap hour, take my word for it that this one isn't that bad. I actually enjoyed it for what it was worth.
Score: 329

It's a Kevin Bacon movie and he's a convicted Phedophile or something. That's all I know about it.
