It's always stunningly refreshing to watch Adam Sandler in a drama movie. Everything in the story was unpredictable. Nothing was straightforward. People would just start screaming and shouting and then all of a sudden start saying sorry and patting one another on the back. The incessant conflict between the Mexican housekeeper Flor (Paz Vega) and her American employer Deborah (Téa Leoni) was so well done, as was the uneasy attraction between the latter and John (Adam Sandler) across language barriers. You could feel the drama is just so tremendously realistic, not the least bit contrived, forced or even out of a script.
