Notes from the scriptwriter to himself a few years back: John wants his marriage to work. Flor wants her mothering to work. Christina wants to feel the thrill of her abilities. Deb wants to feel better about herself and is getting scared that that’s impossible. Bernice wants to save her optimism. Evelyn wants to protect her grandkids and make up for past sins. Georgie wants to do as he wishes. The dog wants the ball endlessly. In Spanglish, the beautifully observed comedy/drama from acclaimed multiple Oscar-winning writer/director/producer James L. Brooks (As Good as it Gets, Terms of Endearment), Flor (Paz Vega), a beautiful, native Mexican woman becomes the housekeeper for the affluent, yet troubled, Clasky family (headed by Adam Sandler and Téa Leoni). In the literal sense, “Spanglish” is a hybrid of Spanish and English, a dialect spoken by nearly 40 million Latinos living in the United States. As used in the title of James L. Brooks’ latest comedy, it refers to the intermingling of these disparate cultures when they end up living together under one roof. Read Full Production Notes
