Reviews
|
Rolling Stone -
A rich blend of humor and heartbreak.
|
|
The Hollywood Reporter -
Brooks is solidly in charge of this feel-good fairy tale as he gets terrific performances from everyone including two super-talented child actors.
|
|
ReelViews -
trong on characters and relationships, but weak on some of the details that would elevate it from merely "good" to "great."
|
|
The A.V. Club -
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.
|
|
Newsweek -
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.
