Spanglish (2004)

A Mexican woman emigrates to the U.S. with her small daughter; she finds work as a maid for a rich family and gets personally involved in their matters.

Apparently all familiar dramedies nowadays must feature a 'castrated' male, so this is no exception. It would be a waste of time to list all the atrocious moments in the movie -- it is bad from frame one and does not improve as it goes along. Of course, it must culminate in an ending which tops everything that precedes it in terms of abomination. One particular aspect of the movie, though, had me specially puzzled, namely, that it has a WHITE Spanish actress playing a Mexican woman whose daughter considers her mother's employer as "the coolest WHITE woman she has ever met".
