Email this page to a friend   Critics Reviews Average Grade:   B Source Brief Review Grade* Atlanta Journal-Constitution Eleanor Ringel Gillespie "...it's infused with humor and humanity. And how many films offer either one?" more... B- Boston Globe Wesley Morris "...always percolating, but its timing is sometimes off." more... A- Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert "...the movie is not quite the sitcom the setup seems to suggest; there are some character quirks that make it intriguing." more... B   Chicago Tribune Allison Benedikt "...Brooks plops moms and dads and kids in the middle of a muddled message movie, losing his characters, his wit and, worst of all, his point." more... C+ E! Online "...every single character is so well drawn and enjoyable..." more... B+ filmcritic.com Norm Schrager "...often uncomfortable and completely gratifying." more... B+ Hollywood Reporter Kirk Honeycutt "...terrific performances from everyone..." more... A- New York Post Lou Lumenick "Whatever message Brooks was trying to put across with Spanglish, it clearly got lost in translation." more... C+ New York Times A.O. Scott "...Mr. Sandler has a solid, fumbling likability, without which Spanglish would be not merely annoying but despicable in its slick complacency." more... D   ReelViews James Berardinelli "...it is strong on characters and relationships, but weak on some of the details that would elevate it from merely 'good' to 'great.'" more... B   Rolling Stone Peter Travers "With his unerring eye for characters, even their hidden dark corners, Brooks makes Spanglish a rich blend of humor and heartbreak." more... A- San Francisco Chronicle Carla Meyer "...[Brooks] has lost his way with the fitfully entertaining, patently false Spanglish." more... C   Seattle Post-Intelligencer William Arnold "The movie is clever, funny and touching but so broadly conceived that it's a bit cartoonish" more... B- USA Today Mike Clark "Spanglish is a performer's showcase." more... A- * Yahoo! Movies converts each critic's published rating into a letter grade.
