Maid in Manhattan (2002)

In the breezy Maid in Manhattan, a maid in a top-flight hotel (Jennifer Lopez, Out of Sight, The Wedding Planner) chances to dress in a guest's clothes just when a handsome political candidate (Ralph Fiennes, Schindler's List, Red Dragon) walks in. Naturally, he's bowled over and pursues her; he's initially drawn to her gorgeous good looks but soon comes to appreciate her honesty and common sense. Of course, she can't let him know that she's only a maid, and various high jinks ensue--it's all pretty formulaic, but lurking in the edges of this glossy, brainless romance are a wealth of sly turns by Natasha Richardson and Amy Sedaris (as callow socialites), Bob Hoskins (as a dignified butler), Stanley Tucci (as Fiennes' exasperated campaign manager), and many less familiar faces. All help to give Maid in Manhattan the life and texture that has been processed out of the main characters. --Bret Fetzer Amazon.com

 Light diversion; Entertaining
I watched this on TV, commercials and all, and I still enjoyed it. I was not in a mood to take things seriously, and this gentle, harmless diversion from director Wayne Wang was not an offense to my intelligence. Lopez & Fiennes (with an American "accent") were good together, and good supporting roles by Amy Sedaris, Natasha Richardson, Bob Hoskins and, especially, Stanley Tucci, were a riot. In sweet, mindless films like this, the supporting characters are always the best. I could've been doing other things, I guess, but at 11:30 at nite, this was not a waste of my time. I liked it. Lighten up... PS~ The little kid in this film gave a great performance. April 30, 2008

 Main in Manhattan
Maid in Manhattan is a touching light romantic comedy. Jennifer Lopez, Ralph Fiennes and the supporting cast turn in convincing performances and the story line, though fanciful, is still completely believable. February 27, 2008

 Unrealistic, vomit-inducing
I cannot fathom why on earth, the perfectly talented Ralph Fiennes would ever choose to star in a film like this. Perhaps it was to get away from his usual dramatic stuff. However, this is literally the last type of film I'd ever want to see him in. And don't get me wrong, he was good in this. He's good in everything. But he is just a very small part of this film. Everything, from the plot to the characters is just so unrealistic. Its almost unwatchable. Its utter rubbish, no one could ever believe in this movie. Its like Pretty Woman part deaux. Jennifer Lopez's almost unnatural sweetness does nothing for this film except to sink it lower. There is nothing comedic, nor romantic about this film. A complete DUD. February 14, 2008
