Pros: Cute premise, nice soundtrack, interesting social issues Cons: It's an overdone story -- should we really be singing the praises of a Cinderella?
I'm going to be honest here, if it wasn't for the fact that Ralph Fiennes is in this one, I wouldn;t have bothered to watch it. I'm not a fan of Jennifer Lopez, and I will surmise that I never will be. Despite her strong performance in Out of...
Pros: Jennifer Lopez was fairly credible; minor characters amused me Cons: no chemistry between her and Ralph Fiennes; contrived story; annoying characters
HMM. That’s what you will probably be humming throughout this politically-minded, romantic comedy or Jennifer Lopez’s 2002 vehicle. Bringing to mind the sweet Cinderella fairytale, the intelligent, Kevin Wade-written movie Working Girl and...
Pros: Fiennes, Posey, Hoskins, and Tucci sell their roles Cons: Jennifer Lopez does not
At one point in "Maid In Manhattan," Ty Ventura (Tyler Garcia Posey) gets a pointer from senatorial hopeful Chris Marshall (Ralph Fiennes) on how to be less nervous while giving a speech. Marshall, an assemblyman contemplating higher office, tells the...
Pros: Lopez isn't bad, new-comer Marissa Matrone, Stanley Tucci ... Cons: Fiennes seemed out of place, the first hour went on and on and ...
This time I was good. I went into the theatre with no expectations, not a one. I didn’t expect it to be funny. I didn’t hope to be blown away (as I was by Lopez’s performance in The Cell). And, even as I was being pushed around by...
Pros: Lopez is beautiful; the script scratches slightly below the romantic comedy surface Cons: Ralph Fiennes isn't a romantic comedy lead (and he can't pronounce his own name)
The romantic comedy doesn’t set the bar too high for itself. It doesn’t aspire to Oscar nominations or even critical success. Rather, it seeks merely to entertain, specifically to entertain women. If the romantic comedy fulfills its...
Pros:Jennifer Lopez was great to watch! Cons: Very little chemistry between JLo and Ralph Fiennes.
Preamble Squeal! I got to see a sneak preview of Maid in Manhattan tonight. I only found out last night that it was going to happen and first thing this morning, I went down to the movie theater and procured my ticket because...
Pros: cute story, Simon and Garfunkel references Cons: critically panned
Last year, my dad and brother had the opportunity to spend an evening in Buffalo watching Beatlemania!, a tribute to the Beatles, which is my brother’s favorite musical group. Mom and I had acquired the tickets by chance when the two of us went to see ...
Pros: Cute boy, Ralph Fiennes, starts to discuss interesting themes Cons: predictable, bland, shallow
When my friends and I saw the trailer for Maid in Manhattan, we groaned at the cheesiness of the title and the utter unoriginality of the plot. "Wasn't this movie already made with Julia Roberts in it?" I whispered.
Pros: This theme was popular once upon a time. Cons: If they're going to have a prince, pick an appealing one.
Maid in Manhattan is a really bad Cinderella story. That oft told tale of a poor but beautiful maiden who is saved by a prince is pretty darn tired to start with, but when you add a sneaky, wishy-washy Cinderella in the lead role, then you...
Pros: Jennifer Lopez and Tyler Posey excelled in their roles Cons: Very stereotypical
With all the fame that Jennifer Lopez has attained through her movies and music, she hasn't attained that Julia Roberts status just yet. By Julia Roberts status, I mean that she hasn't really made that movie that has knocked the box office out of the...
Pros: Easy, charming and the best of JLo so far Cons: Haphazard ending
The Plot
Jennifer Lopez plays Marisa Ventura, a street savvy, independent single mother who lives in the Bronx with her son, Ty, and works as a maid in a first class Manhattan hotel. Marisa dreams of a better life for her and...
Pros: Message Value in film; Positive female role model. Cons: Script; Sometimes Lopez herself; Too polished it feels made up. Trash it!
Maid in Manhattan is a rags to riches, Cinderella fairytale wannabe love story that supposed to make you feel good. Unfortunately, the only thing that will make you feel good is when the credits finally begin to roll at the end.
A struggling single mother who works at a posh Manhattan hotel dreams of a better life for her young son and herself. One fateful day, a senatorial ca...More at HotMovieSale.com
