Reviews


88
Rolling Stone - Peter Travers
A rich blend of humor and heartbreak.
80
The Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt
Brooks is solidly in charge of this feel-good fairy tale as he gets terrific performances from everyone including two super-talented child actors.
75
ReelViews - James Berardinelli
trong on characters and relationships, but weak on some of the details that would elevate it from merely "good" to "great."
70
The A.V. Club - Scott Tobias
Though Brooks has a broad, crowd-pleasing sensibility, he knows how to appeal to the masses without insulting anyone's intelligence, and that's a rare gift these days.
60
Newsweek - David Ansen
Spanglish feels hemmed in, visually monotonous. There are signs that a lot has been cut, and in trimming his film Brooks may have squeezed too tight: his movie needs breathing space.
