...stories themselves vary wildly in terms of quality. While some are heartfelt and insightful, others come across as poorly conceived and unduly stereotypical. Jean’s (Sandra Bullock) maid, for instance, speaks English but lapses into Spanish for basic words the gringo audience will be able to understand: words like “sí” and “señora”.
