movie review, plus or minus

I recently watched “Spanglish.” In a nutshell, I thought it was great and worth seeing again. Now for a more detailed breakdown of why:

  • Not every character is perfect +
  • The weather pretty much is –
  • But it’s California, so that’s ok +-
  • It’s hard to tell if Adam Sandler is acting or just “like that.” -+
  • Fantasizing about having an uber-hot latina for a mom +2
  • realizing that’s more than a little icky -3
  • Fantasizing instead about having an uber-hot latina housekeeper +4
  • Seeing other people’s kids be smart-asses +1
  • No mention of Emma Watson, or her breasts -2
  • But I have to put that in my blog every once in a while to keep my google ranking +1
  • At one point one out of every five visitors to my blog was looking for Emma Watson’s boobs, in spite of the fact that I don’t have them. -1
  • Orgasmic Tea Leoni in a sports bra +3
  • With Adam Sandler -3
  • paz_2.jpgPaz Vega is uber-hot, but I think I’ve mentioned that already. +1
  • Paz Vega learned English while shooting this movie.
  • Her daughter is played by Shelbie Bruce and she is awesome. +3
  • I didn’t know Cloris Leachman could be so damn funny. +1
  • For you animal lovers, there is a dog (retriever) and a tennis ball also in the film…

Well, I don’t know how that adds up, but it’s definitely a plus. Hope I didn’t give away too much of the movie…
