Martin Sheen/Rooney Mara


Sheen's Portuguese sounded like Spanish from time to time (probably because he has Spanish ancestry and possibly speaks Spanish better) but I still think he spoke it pretty decently for an American. Rooney looked like she struggled with it big time and had difficulty even putting together a sentence in it. I don't know if it was acting or if the actress actually struggled with the language. I loved how the black kid tried to speak as much English as possible while the other two were not as motivated and hardly tried. It was a really good movie, overall.

Rooney teasing the kids for their English while mangling their Portuguese was a piece of work.

As to Rooney/Sheen, I know why they were in the movie, but I have no idea why they were in the story.
