This movie was an awesome parenting movie! The gourmet "BLT" sandwich was inspiring too! There is even a bonus feature showing how to recreate the sandwich. But enough about food.
Why did I choose to highlight this movie? I was amazed that the two parents - one married and the other "not married" decided that being a role model for their children was more important than enjoying their own happiness.
Most parents these days, look out for themselves first. Precisely why we have so much molestation, assaults, and sexual abuse happening within society.
In the movie Spanglish, both parents wanted to maintain a stable home life for their children. The female lead did not want to break up Adam Sandler's marriage. What type of example would that be setting for her own daughter?
Adam Sandler had to make the same decision as well. Although, he realized that he was not entirely happy with his wife, she was the mother of the children for better and for worse.
I was just overjoyed that they overcame personal desires and hormones for the sake of their children. This movie represented maturity in parenthood. It showcased sacrifice in order to maintain family values.
I wished more parents could learn from this movie. Rent or buy "Spanglish" to pass along to a young parent.
