A beautiful native Mexican woman becomes the housekeeper for the affluent, yet troubled, Clasky family. The result is a wittily perceptive collision of cultures and values, and a refreshingly honest look at such life-altering commitments as marriage, parenting, and devotion to family. The title refers both to the culture clash, and to the housekeeper's belated efforts to learn English, so as to better control the Claskys' influence on her daughter's life. A poignant comedy with a language all its own. Featuring Adam Sandler, Tea Leoni, Paz Vega, & Cloris Leachman.
Dr. Mary Nell Trautner, Assistant Professor of Sociology at UB, will facilitate a guided dialogue following the film.
