Review of Maid in Manhattan (2002) by Jennifer W — 10 Apr 2013

This might be one of the few Ralph Fiennes movies he wasn't freaky in any way. But the movie is so corny and the love story is too easy. As a politician, it just seemed odd how calm and open he was to all Lopez's lies. Lopez is just that...hard to see her as anything but a diva, and as a Maid possibly on her way to a manager job, she really doesn't do much to get said job.

Most of the supporting cast is what helps this film. Richardson is really good here, and so sad that she passed far too early, but her character just kind of disappears at one point. Hoskins is good here too in a very subtle role.

I also didn't buy in the present American society, that so many people would allow the antics Lopez takes. My experience that co-workers will stomp you down any chance they get.
