Not a typical Adam Sandler movie. Then again - no one in this movie is someone I thought would be in this movie - since I only recognize two people. Tia Leone is the other. Most memorable scene is when Adam who plays a world class chef (Iron Chef Happy?) lays out his trademark flip-out in his car with non-speaking Mexican women in it. The scene goes something like this: DAMN! SHIT FUCK! WHY ME! Or something equally kick ass.

So this movie is really about the moral fiber (burp) of this Mexican woman and her daughter. It’s actually semi-narrated by her daughter in the beginning and the end. This takes place at the office of a college where she had sent an application to apply. Another side plot; the character played by Tia Leone starts treating the daughter of the Mexican housekeeper better than her own daughter - which sucks for her. Buys her shit, takes her out and basically is an asshole no matter how much she tries to apologize about it. She does have a nice stomach - and her non-intercourse orgasm in bed with Iron Chef Happy, is hot. If not aggravating.

Eventually the non-English speaking housekeeper learns English, and starts talking. This is a big mistake because you know you aren’t going to be able to understand anything she says or means anyway. You can try, but just enjoy the parts where the daughter plays the interpreter. She’s hot though, which is nice... though you never really get to see her boobs. Actually, there aren’t any in this movie at all... What the fuck?

So, Adam gets a good chef review from some top asshole in the business - his wife has an affair (but only had sex the "LAST" time she was with him... yeah right.) Adam makes out with the Mexican lady and cooks her dinner. She has weird feet and eats with a stupid expression on her face, as most foreigners do when in a movie. Adam gives Tia the boot for an evening after she blows her load about having the affair (which her mother makes her tell, by making her feel guilty. Nice) and she gets to sit in her own piss flaps for a night.

There are allot of children things going in like collecting rocks and glass... which costs allot of money apparently becausr the housekeeper gets pissed when her daughter makes like $400 collecting shit on the beach. In the mean time Adam and Tia's daughter, needs to "lose weight" because her mother bought her clothes one size to small - oh wait, the Mexican lady made them bigger, so no need. Lesson learned.

The son of Adam and Tia doesn’t do much except try to sing with the moms’ mom, who is a has-been drunk singer. But she’s funny and cynical like most wino mothers who used to be famous. Nice touch! The movies ends up with another philosophical narration by the Mexican lady's daughter about how the college can "accept her" but it wont "define her" or something. Which is, I guess the moral of the story - so?

In the end, everyone is both happy, and sad. Emotionally drained and rejuvenated. What a mess. It was a good movie though; just because Adam wasn’t beating the shit out of someone with a golf club, doesn’t mean there isn’t any hidden meaning in his movies otherwise. When I find it ill let you all know.

This movie is solely based on acting plot because, a) there isn’t any kung-fu, b) there are no explosions or boobs, and c) because there isn’t any in it. Just kidding.

Breakdown: Acting, 6 - Plot, 6 - Sub-plot, 8

I had to adjust the final of 6.6 with the following points:

+1 for the grilled cheese sandwich scene, because anything with cheese is the balls.
-1 for the for the whing and crying. Man, shut the fuck up already.
+1 for the flip-out.
-1 for the annoying language barrier/ interpreter/narrator.

FINAL SCORE: 6.6

Wow, that adjustment wasnt worth it, was it? Fuck you.
