Product Description
AFTER YEARS OF LOOKING FOR MR RIGHT, 'CHARLIE' FINDS THE MAN OF HER DREAMS, KEVIN, ONLY TO DISCOVER THAT HIS MOTHER, VIOLA, IS THE WOMAN OF HER NIGHTMARES. VIOLA IS DETERMINED TO SCARE OFF HER SON'S NEW FIANCEE BY BECOMING THE WORLD'S WORST MOTHER IN LAW. THE 2 WOMEN BATTLE IT OUT TO SEE WHO IS THE ALPHA-FEMALE.
Amazon.com
As an esteemed television journalist put out to pasture by the networks and faced with the engagement of her son, Jane Fonda is fierce, funny, and ready to rumble as the title character in Monster-in-Law in a way that the rest of the film itself never really is. Jennifer Lopez, the film's other above-the-title star, is set to marry handsome, wealthy Michael Vartan but has one helluva time dealing with his insanely possessive mother. The result is pretty much what you'd expect--lots of snarls and slapstick and an easy, kisses-all-around conclusion, though it is surprising (and maybe a little disheartening) to watch Fonda throw herself into such disposable comedy with such gusto. Director Robert Luketic, who slept while Reese Witherspoon tottered off with his Legally Blonde, once again relies solely on the assembled talent: He leaves a high-wattage Lopez playing things a little too cute, a reedy Vartan looking visibly disinterested, and canny comedian Wanda Sykes making what she can--which, luckily, is a lot--of her role as Fonda's wisecracking personal assistant (the type of black sidekick role that's an indication of how creakily formulaic the film is). See it for Fonda, if you feel like it, then wish her a better engagement in the future. --Steve Wiecking

Monster-in-Law January 2, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
After years of looking for Mr. Right, Charlotte 'Charlie' Cantilini finally finds the ultimate man of her dreams, Kevin Fields--only to discover that his mother, Viola, is the woman of her nightmares. A recently fired news anchor who is afraid she will lose her son the way she has just lost her career, Viola determines to scare off her son's new fiance by becoming the world's worst mother-in-law. While Viola's long-time assistant Ruby does her best to help Viola execute her crazy schemes, Charlie decides to fight back, and the gloves come off as the two women battle it out to see just who is the alpha-female. A triumphant comeback for Fonda. Monster-in-Law it's a movie that will make you have a great time watching it.

A must...this is one of my favorite comedies. Ms. Fonda is astounding and her wardrobe, OMG, yesss! I have always loved Wanda; the four stars worked very well together! I truly adored this movie and can watch it over and over for lots of laughter - I seem to catch something new :-)
Great job!!
