Amazon.co.uk Review
In the breezy Maid in Manhattan, a maid in a top-flight hotel (Jennifer Lopez) chances to dress in a guest's clothes just when a handsome political candidate (Ralph Fiennes) walks in. Naturally, he's bowled over and pursues her; he's initially drawn to her gorgeous good looks but soon comes to appreciate her honesty and common sense. Of course, she can't let him know that she's only a maid, and various high jinks ensue--it's all pretty formulaic, but lurking in the edges of this glossy, brainless romance are a wealth of sly turns by Natasha Richardson and Amy Sedaris (as callow socialites), Bob Hoskins (as a dignified butler), Stanley Tucci (as Fiennes' exasperated campaign manager), and many less familiar faces. All help to give Maid in Manhattan the life and texture that has been processed out of the main characters. --Bret Fetzer

DVD Description
Marisa Ventura is a single mother born and bred in the boroughs of New York City, who works as a maid in a first-class Manhattan hotel. In a case of mistaken identity, Marisa meets Christopher Marshall (Ralph Fiennes), the heir to a political dynasty, who believes that she is a guest at the hotel. Fate throws the unlikely pair together for a magical night of romance. But when Marisa's true identity is revealed, the two find that they are worlds apart, even though the distance separating them is just a subway ride away. Can they find a way to overcome their differences and live happily ever after?

Customer Reviews

I really liked it
I'm a really big Jlo and although it's not her best film I really enjoyed it and you can tell Jen put all her heart into it as the film is based wheres shes from, I had never heard of Ralph fiennes until I head watched his film and he is a great actor I know this is off track but he played even better as voldmort in harry potter 4.
Buy this movie if you want a relaxing night it's a great film and Ty is sooooooooo cute

Fiennes excellent in a feeble comedy
I bought this DVD because I was curious to see Ralph Fiennes in a comedy. I think he is our greatest living actor - incredibly versatile, he seems to be able to play any role and he has a wonderful voice and extraordinary eyes. Although this film is a very feeble comedy and not worthy of his talents, he is totally convincing as the American politician. I'd like to see him in a really good romantic comedy. The fact that he gives the impression of being madly in love with the ghastly Jennifer Lopez is yet one more proof that he is a great actor! I've never seen her before and I don't want to again. She can't act and she isn't even very attractive. Why on earth did they choose her? Bob Hoskins and Natasha Richardson are excellent in supporting roles.

one of my faves :)
This is one of my faves in my collection. Every girl dreams of the prince charming, and in this film he becomes reality.

J.LO does good in this film, and i havent seen Ralph Fiennes other films so i cant compare, but i loved him in this.

Of course its just light hearted, chick flick fun which i am a big fan of. I love Marissa's son Ty, he's a cutie and a good little actor. If u are looking for a great, romantic comedy this is the one!
