Spanglish (2004) Flor Moreno, an impecunious single mother of one, emigrates to Los Angeles from Mexico in high hopes of creating a better life for her twelve-year-old daughter, Cristina. However, after landing a job as a housekeeper for the laid-back gourmet chef, John Clasky, and his well-to-do family, Flor will find herself up against a daunting language barrier, and Deborah, John’s troubled wife. Little by little, as Flor struggles to start afresh, and of course, learn English, an inevitable cultural collision is at hand; moreover, a burgeoning romantic affection starts to take over. Will John and Flor ever bridge the linguistic divide? ??Nick RiganasAwards: 5 wins & 15 nominationsBudget: $80,000,000 (estimated)Worldwide Gross: $55,470,154Soundtrack: Historia de un Amor (Music by Carlos Eleta Almaran)
