Jennifer Lopez
On the JLo

Monster-in-Law (2005)

Catch Jennifer Lopez as Charlotte "Charlie" Cantini

Theatrical Release Date: May 5, 2005

Summary: Charlotte, Lopez's character, has had nothing but bad luck with men until she meets Kevin. Kevin would be the perfect man if it weren't for his tyrannical mother bent on destroying their relationship. Viola Fields, played by Jane Fonda, is Kevin's socialite mother who resents her son's decision to marry a lower-class girl and does everything in her power to botch the wedding plans

Review: This movie is a typical comedy about the overbearing mother adjusting to the daughter-in-law to be. Monster-in-Law turned out to be funny as long as you don't set your expectations too high. It is not meant to be a brilliant piece of cinema, but as a goofy film, it does just fine. With a predictable plot line, it is not the sort of movie you are going to go home raving about, but it is the sort of movie you may just be entertained by for and hour and a half.
