Vega radiates effortless strength and charm in her first Hollywood role, and Sandler proves to be a gratifyingly unpredictable leading man, self-effacing one moment and hilariously emphatic the other.

There's a distinct lack of chemistry here and a strong whiff of moral sermonizing that undermines the romantic impact.

This is Hollywood liberal humanism as muted join-the-dots melodrama, all carefully calculated colouring, broad outlines, and no room for fruitful digression.

It would be a tour de force in a film with focus, but Spanglish-at its most basic... is all over the... place.
