Kranki Reviews Spanglish

DVD MOVIE REVIEW: Spanglish

2 hrs. 11 min. 2004
starring Adam Saddler and Tea Leoni written and directed by James L. Brooks

It had implausable character behavior and it mostly sucked*.

Additional reporting provided by Penny G.

This is true any time the movie summary uses the words hilarious or zany.

"... everyone's life is upended in hilariously zany ways."

Unfortunately I didn't read the summary until half-way through the movie which for me was the end of the movie.

i'm wary of anything starring tea leoni on principle.

BEVIS said...

Based on this review alone, I'm going to buy it on DVD.

... And then send it to you as a gift, Kranki.

Hey! Maybe that's what you should do about your downstairs neighbours! Give them Spanglish on DVD as a present! It's better than anything else Angela or I came up with as retaliation suggestions.

i agree la nadine; there's nothing there. too squirrelly.

kranki said...

Actually the review should have been: Spanglish: If you hate Tea Leoni you can hate her for this entire movie.

Melbourne Girl: I advise you to spend the 2 hrs and 11 minutes you could spend watching Spanglish working on my Thank You card.

See it, if you like it, no biggie. But you'll be out of my will.

Bevis, if you do send t to me please send a hammer along with it so I can properly use the gift. Thanks.

am i in your will?

[books flight to la]
[hires private dick]
[blushes at mention of dick]
[opens suitcase of murderous instruments, and quivers over the stiletto]

[decides not to, cancels booking, and sits down to write krank an essay on "why hating tea leoni will probably not put me off seeing this movie"]

i can't explain it, the more people tell me not to, the more i will want to

Yeah, it's like "don't look over there but it's a horrible car crash." You just have to look.

I wonder if you will somehow like Spanglish. Nah.

The stilleto huh? I figured you for poisoned lip gloss. Maybe it's just wishful thinking.

By the way. I am totally fucking depressed lately, so it's nice to take a break and banter with you.
