| Since fourteen years had passed, Hollywood decided to recycle the successful "Working Girl" story once more. This time instead of a secretary from Staten Island, we get a maid from The Bronx. Both women have career advancement on their minds. Most of the action for both woman takes place in Manhattan where they work. They both pose as upper class woman, wearing someone else's designer clothes (in the $5,000.00 price range), as they set their sights on a handsome man whose out of their league. They both have a wisecracking friend to confide in & co-workers to cheer them on. All sorts of mistaken identity mishaps ensue for both working girls. "Maid In Manhattan" throws in an appealing, cute kid. Both films have happy, fairy tale outcomes where they get their men, & advance in their careers. The only thing is "Working Girl" (with Melanie Griffth) did this much better. The premise is tired & stale at this point. It all seems to make "Maid In Manhattan" look like a very long mediocre sitcom, & you can't help but compare it to all the other films it spawned from, which is very distracting |

| Both Ebert and Roeper give "Two Thumbs Up!" to Maid in Manhattan starring Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Fiennes. Pat Collins says "The best romantic comedy since Pretty Women." I say,"It'll make you laugh and cry at the same time."
This movie is extaordinary and brilliant. You'll have to watch the movie for yourself to see what I mean. This movie is very different from other movies. Your going to laugh and cry your heart out.
Some good things about the movie was that Marisa Ventura(Jennifer L.)is a single mother who supports her 10 year-old son by working as a maid in Manhattan. One evening Marisa was trying on her hotel guest's clothes persuaded by her friend who is also a maid, when she met Christopher Marshall(Ralph f.)they spent the day together and fell in love.
Unfortunately, some of the bad things were that he mistaked her as a wealthy socialite. When her true identity is revealed, the issues of class threated to seperate them. Pretty soon, Marisa Ventura has to choose between love or her job. This movie has a unsuspecting ending and I never get tired of watching it. |

| A very pleasant surprise, Maid in Manhattan, brings to the screen exactly what the title implies: the story of a hotel maid that crosses paths with an affluent political candidate, and end up falling in love with each other.
I have to admit that I did not know what to expect from the film, but as it turns out it was a very pleasant and entertaining movie!
It is a film about human relations, hope and second chances, but most importantly about trust, love, and inner strength.
Jennifer Lopez, Ralph Fiennes, and the rest of the cast, have outdone themselves with their performances, which are exceptional to say the least. All the actors, without exceptions, give it their 100% and it really shows (the chemistry is AMAZING)! Very well written and very well presented, the movie is without a doubt guaranteed to provide more than just a few laughs, not to mention a few tears. The film is simple enough, but does a great job of describing people's every day lives and the problems they face. It just goes to show that simplicity is often far better than complexity, when trying to present issues of a human nature.
In short, Maid in Manhattan is a movie definitely worth watching!
