Watch Maid in Manhattan For Free

Surprisingly incoherent and boring

So much average

Fresh and Exciting

The acting in this movie is really good.

Man it's been years since I properly seen Jennifer Lopez in a movie. I know she's currently doing a TV show series called "Shades of Blue" but other than that, she doesn't seem to be getting involved with other cheesy romantic-comedy movies recently!Anyways concentrating on the movie, I honestly didn't expect Ralph Fiennes (AKA Lord Voldermort in the Harry Potter Films) to be a love interest for Jennifer Lopez' character. He honestly had the charm but in my opinion, he's not that handsome really..I was even surprised that Tyler Posley as the wee boy was on this. He was so cute as a child, why did he have to get involved in ruining the original "Teen Wolf". He should be doing better projects than this, he has so much potential than being the main character in Teen Wolf...I think this is a good film, not cute or 110% excellent but it's grand to watch if you don't know which movie you're watching tonight haha.

I am no fan of "Chick Flicks", and as a straight guy into action films, this movie was not exactly targeted at me. However, I decided to review this film, because they decided to remake it as a Mexican Telenovales, and my question is why?(Unless they think a cast of unknowns would work better than JLO & Finnes better (It might actually happen although 20 hours of this film would sicken me)). This movie is lame at best, and there is no drama, humor, suspense, and worse, no chemistry with JLO and Finnes (He even has more in common with the kid). It is basically a fairy tale along the lines of "Ever After" (Which is a better film, because there is some action (Drew Barrymore with a sword), and shockingly Barrymore is hotter in that film than Lopez is here which with the notable exception of "Bad Girls" is not true). Is this the worst film of its type? No it isn't "the Sweetest Thing" is, but it is still a 1 star film.

A pseudo-Latino-Cinderella story. It is shocking that Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Fiennes were paired for this romantic comedy, because, really, they don't have any chemistry on camera. Fiennes is a good actor so one wonders why he accepted such a stupid role in a movie that doesn't require of his acting but just of his posing. Lopez keeps trying the same role over and over, nor giving a chance to movies or genres that would suit her better.The problem with any failed Cinderella story is that, the story being well known and part of our cultural baggage, needs of reinvention and talent to pass the test. That's why Maid in Manhattan is a failure , as there nothing new or original, just a different setting.The acting is dreadful, the movie is not funny or entertaining, actually it takes itself too seriously, and it is not engaging at all.It sounds shocking, but this is a Wayne Wang's movie! A waste of money.No talent wasted whatsoever, though! :D

So it's Cinderella. It's hard to imagine why that would bother anyone who'd seen the trailer, by the time you sit down to watch the movie you know the plot.I may be the last person on earth to see Jennifer Lopez outside the checkout line. She's not bad looking but didn't impress me all that greatly as an actress, but she did tell the story. This may be a light- weight role for Fiennes (duh!) but I thought he carried it off well. The kid (Ty) was great, and Bob Hoskins was wonderful.I think Pygmalian (Pretty Woman) is a better story, and Julia Roberts is obviously head and shoulders above Jennifer Lopez, but I certainly don't regret adding it to my Netflix queue!Van
