Maid in Manhattan
The KingLove Movie Guide Review, 10/02
Starring Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Fiennes
Directed by Joel Zwick
Rated PG, 95 Minutes
Attractiveness & Chemistry
Ralph Fiennes in a romantic comedy? JLo is looking hot but the chemistry is not there for this couple. It's a cute story, but cute doesn't get the sheets wet, you know?
Story Line
Marisa Ventura (JLo) is an intelligent single mom working as a maid in a classy Manhattan hotel. She dreams of a better life for herself and her son. In a frivolous moment Marisa finds herself trying on the clothes of a rich socialite staying in the hotel. Christopher Marshall (Ralph Fiennes) walks in on the fashion show and mistakes her for a guest. He is immediately smitten.
Hilarity ensues and the two fall in love, just as they should in a Romantic Comedy.
Nookie Factor
Ralph and JLo are not a match made in heaven, so it wouldn't be too fun to see them together anyway. But there is a lovely dance when JLo looks stunning; she takes your breath away.
Comments from the People!
"Why can't they make a Romantic Comedy like When Harry Met Sally anymore?"
"Contrived and Hollywood, but still a fun time at the movies."
"JLo looks hot!"
KingLove's Overall Rating
Not the best Romantic Comedy on the streets, but it is kind of cute. The chemistry failure between JLo and Ralph hinders the recommendation to see it.
