Maid in Manhattan (2002)

Cast: Jennifer Lopez (Marisa Ventura), Ralph Fiennes (Chris Marshall), Natasha Richardson (Caroline Lane), Stanley Tucci (Jerry Siegel), Tyler Posey (Ty Ventura)
For complete info, see IMDb's Maid in Manhattan page.

As with any movie that uses Manhattan as a back drop, part of me was sold on this movie before I saw it. I think it's a cute version of the Cinderella story. Not unique, or believable, but cute. The cast does a really great job. I'm not a big fan of Jennifer Lopez generally, but I think she did a good job here. Ralph Fiennes and Natasha Richardson were wonderful as always and the rest of the cast was great, too.

Definitely sappy romantic comedy, but sometimes those can be fun. If you enjoy the occasional romantic comedy with a totally predictable story line, you could definitely forget about thinking for a while with this movie. Worth the time to watch the rental.

Grade: B
