A single mother in Mexico decides it would be best for her daughter's future if they crossed the border and moved to California. She gets a job as a housekeeper for a rich family and clashes with the high strung mother who tries to "Americanize" her daughter. However, she clicks well with the father who is very low key and has the opposite personality of his wife. Is there a new love connection?
Adam Sandler's attempt at a dramatic role wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. He didn't look comfortable during the more serious and romantic scenes. I kept thinking he was going to bust out with a joke, but maybe I'm just biased from seeing his other movies. The story was enjoyable and the other actors did a great job. I especially liked the woman who played the grandmother - perfect casting. Now I have to go back and watch Happy Gilmore to balance my chi.

I typically watch movies on Monday, Wednesday and Friday while riding the ACE Train from Tracy to Santa Clara. The opinions expressed are those of me, myself and I.

This was not good.
I'm glad I didn't buy it.
Letter to Sandler . . .
Please don't make anymore of these movies. "Click" was OK, but Happy Gilmore and Billy Madison are your bread and butter."
