EVERY FAMILY HAS A HERO.

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.

  • Joyce Caldwell
    Way too long and dragged out. It had potential, but it lost me halfway through.

    A solid, enjoyable film. The performances were good, though it didn't really break new ground.

    A gripping story with strong performances. The ending was a bit predictable, but overall a great watch.

  • Bodhi Wilson
    An overhyped movie that failed to deliver. I didn’t connect with the characters or the plot.
