I rented Spanglish almost a month ago, and it has taken me this long to sort out my feelings about it. Firstly, it was really long at 131 minutes, but all the deleted scenes left out important bits that would have made it easier to understand. T'ea Leoni's character, Deborah Clasky, is so unlikable that it was nothing but a caricature. Adam Sandler's character, John Clasky, was just befuddled. I couldn't understand how any mom could have a wonderful, beautiful child like Bernice and just ignore her. Georgie was so glossed over that we had to watch the deleted scenes to find out why his mom was mad at him (for refusing to perform in front of company like a trained seal.) Paz Vega as Flor and the three kid actors were great. The sex scene between Deborah and John pointed out how totally self-occupied Deborah was, but it was really disturbing and I could have lived just fine without seeing it. I had looked forward to seeing this movie for a long time, and was really disappointed. Good editing could have made this movie really great. Too bad.
