Rating: 3 [ Predictable, But Charming ]
"Maid in Manhattan" is a cute and charming little movie. No Oscar winner here, but a nice diversion. A Cinderella story, "Maid" proves that even predictable movies can leave you feeling warm and fuzzy. The story has been told been a million times, but with Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Fiennes selling it with such conviction, you can't help but buy into it. "Maid in Manhattan" is your basic mistaken identity comedy. It doesn't apologize or try to overcome its obviously clichéd premise.

"Maid" has Lopez starring as a single mom working in a Plaza-esque hotel in Manhattan to support her gifted son Ty (Tyler Garcia Posey). When a ritzy hotel guest, Caroline Lane (Natasha Richardson), asks Marisa to send an outfit she doesn't want back to the boutique, Marisa is duped by her friend to try on the $5,000 ensemble. Before she has a chance to get out of the outfit, Marisa's son bursts through the door with senatorial candidate Christopher Marshall (Ralph Fiennes). Before Marisa knows it she is caught up in an excursion with Marshall and her life becomes a lot more complicated. If Marisa could breathe she may actually enjoy this new lease on life. Of course, Marisa does her best to ignore Marshall, but Marshall is smitten and goes on a quest to find this mystery woman.

Where the story is headed is no shocker, but it's the getting there that's the charmer. We get winning performances from everyone involved. Lopez's portrayal of Marisa is so convincing, we don't doubt this woman is from the Bronx. We also never doubt she's educated enough to pass herself off as high society. Also rising to the occasion is Fiennes, an actor so charming he can make even a politician look like a nice guy. Lopez and Fiennes also have a believable spark that's very important in a romantic comedy. The supporting cast in also impressive, including Richardson, Bob Hoskins and Stanley Tucci. It was smart to cast their caliber of talent in this movie, but it does seem at times, that they and their talent are wasted.

"Maid in Manhattan" is predictable, but charming, with winning performances from the entire cast. What more can you ask for from a romantic comedy?


Rating: 5 [ Even better than I thought it would be!!! ]
Jennifer Lopez sure has a comedic talent! She delivers a realness and you believe she IS the maid in this movie. I love her comic timing, her charm and her chemistry with Fines is superb.

Another fun chick flick with classic music!


Rating: 4 [ Brought a smile to my face... ]
Now this is not Shakespeare but I certainly wasn't expecting that. Maid in Manhattan delivers exactly what it promises and that is a sweet, engaging romance. I have waited a long time to see Ralph Fiennes play a romantic lead and finally he delivers. I purposely avoided seeing Red Dragon just so I wouldn't get my characters mixed up and fear for J-Lo's life.

One of the keys to Jennifer Lopez's successful acting future is to surround herself with solid actors and in this case she did. She also seemed to really have her mouth around the character she portrayed. Good for her. I might have tweaked the ending a little bit (a little too formula) but nothing is perfect and I think it is the best date movie of the past year...
