Spanglish is a 2004 American romantic comedy-drama film written and directed by James L. Brooks, and starring Adam Sandler, Téa Leoni, Paz Vega and Cloris Leachman.

Christina Moreno, a Mexican-born Princeton candidate, writes about a significant year in her life when her mother Flor, a woman who left Mexico with her for a better life in America, worked for a family whose patriarch is a newly-celebrated chef with an insecure wife.

The film was released in the United States on December 17, 2004, by Columbia Pictures. It was a box-office bomb, grossing $55 million worldwide on an $80 million production budget. The film received mixed reviews from critics.
