Spanglish (2004 James L Brooks & scr)

Interestingly avoids the Hollywood ending - you can in fact write your own sequel quite satisfactorily. The story concentrates on mother Paz Vega and daughter Shelbie Bruce. The scene where the latter not only translates but enacts her mother's telling off is one of the highlights.

Sarah Steele as the daughter was in The Good Wife. Cloris Leachman is the mother of one of them - not sure which. Tea Leoni unspeakable, utterly unlikeable, a neurotic mess. With Adam Sandler.

Vega was in Lucia y el sexo...
