Mexican immigrant and single mother Flor Moreno finds housekeeping work with Deborah and John Clasky, a well-off couple with two children of their own. When Flor admits she can't handle the schedule because of her daughter, Cristina, Deborah decides they should move into the Clasky home. Cultures clash and tensions run high as Flor and the Claskys struggle to share space while raising their children on their own, and very different, terms.

"_There are some mistakes you cannot risk when you have children._"
It is more normal for Sandler to do down-to-earth dramas now but at the time I remember this being out of nowhere. As an adult I appreciate it much more now and the final message of the movie too. Wish it would've ended slightly different, but still a good movie.

The overview says "A woman and her daughter emigrate from Mexico for a better life in America, where they start working for a family where the patriarch is a newly celebrated chef with an insecure wife." OMG this so does not catch what this movie is all about! What a boring description for such a passionate movie!
