Maid in Manhattan - January 2003

Not Recommended

Your average romantic comedy follows a variation on a formula and because of that, successful ones must be put together well or they don’t work. "Maid in Manhattan" relies on the charisma of Jennifer Lopez, and it works for most of the movie, but falls apart at the absurd conclusion, when you can imagine the actors motivating themselves by visualizing their paychecks.

[2009: I'm not kidding - I like Jennifer Lopez the actress, but I ignore Jennifer Lopez the tabloid personality. 2001's "Angel Eyes" is a favorite comfort-food movie, not to mention her great work in "The Cell."
