Flor has recently emigrated from Mexico to North America with her young daughter and though bright, her rudimentary grasp of English considerably limits her job opportunities. Via a friend Flor finds work as a housekeeper for an amiable if dysfunctional well off American family, and so begins her troubles. Spanglish is a good natured drama comedy, nicely performed, gently scripted, a bit patronising and unclear as to where it wants to end up…the ‘easy watching’ category then.
