Critics' reviews
- "A rich blend of humor and heartbreak"
- "This is a deeply unpleasant movie masquerading as a heartfelt social commentary on life in these United States."
- "The movie is not quite the sitcom the setup seems to suggest; there are some character quirks that make it intriguing."
- "Whatever message Brooks was trying to put across with Spanglish, it clearly got lost in translaaaaaaaaaaation."
- "Strong on characters and relationships, but weak on some of the details that would elevate it from merely good to great."
- "A satisfying and grown-up flick that boasts all of James L. Brooks' strengths."
- "Brooks' championing of good old-fashioned family values feels hopelessly nave and frankly unconvincing."
