Advantages: Adjustable lenses for short-sight, peripheral vision panels Disadvantages: Overpriced, cheaper alternatives available, awkward to adjust
a greater sense of all-round vision than do normal facemasks. The Esa has panels below each eye which allow for viewing below and the manufacturer recommends that this is useful for viewing diving gauges and weighbelts, or just seeing what is directly underneath you. There are also side panels which give peripheral vision, useful to stop you scraping against coral or banging into other divers. The mask is also recommended for divers with sight problems and both the main lenses and bottom panels can be specially adjusted for short sighted divers.

Advantages: Had more depth than I expected Disadvantages: Some people won't get it
Flor Moreno and her daughter Christina, move from Mexico to the United States in the hope of finding a better life. Christina quickly picks up the language and fits in wonderfully, but Flor struggles and has to find work where English isn't a necessity, as a cleaner to the Clasky family. The Claskys, however, are so dysfunctional that Flor struggles to understand them...and it's not just a language barrier.

Will Flor help the Claskys work together as a family? And has she lost Christina for good?

Advantages: Interesting story, well acted, funny in parts, price Disadvantages: poorly produced, too long for me and disappointing ending
As an Adam Sandler fan i didn't get around to seeing this film for a long time, the reason being that the opinions and revies i had seen and heard of it were not the best. In the end i decided to buy the dvd and give it a go, if nothing else it completed my Adam Sandler collection lol.
I must say after watching the film, my opinions are still mixed, it is not the usual Adam Sandler film and although funny in parts, i would necessarily call it a comedy.
The story behind the film is a Mexican mother, Flor (Paz Vega) moves to America with her daughter Christina (Shelbie Bruce) to search for a better life. She gets a job as housekeeper for the Clasky Family, John Clasky (Adam Sandler), Deborah Clasky (Tea Leoni), Bernice (Sarah Steele), Georgie (Ian Hyland) and Deborah's mum Evelyn (Cloris Leachman) (surprisingly one of the more ...
