Common themes knock this into the ground.

I thought this was a pretty weak film. It definitely had a weak, unsatisfying, dare I say cheap ending. Hayek's character, though passionate about her point of view, shows herself to be fairly weak and ineffective. There is one redeeming point, though weakly made, that it is more difficult to heal or take care of something than it is to destroy it but that was the only point in which I thought this movie had something worth offering. It wasn't really entertaining, often uncomfortable, and did a clumsy job of driving the oh-so-obvious point home. I expected more from the excellent cast and got less.

I really enjoyed this movie, it's an interesting plot. I friend described it as the collision of the Liberals and Conservatives.
Beatriz (Salma Hayek), an immigrant from a poor town in Mexico, has drawn on her innate kindness to build a career as a spiritual health practitioner in Los Angeles. As she's leaving her last appointment, her car has a flat tire and the owner asks her to stay for dinner as she's having a dinner party anyway. One of the guests, Doug Strutt (John Lithgow), is a cut-throat, self-satisfied billionaire real estate developer. When these two opposites meet at a dinner party, he mistakes her for the servant and their worlds collide.
