    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

    3 out of 5 stars Fun farce.   April 14, 2009
    Jerry Saperstein (Evanston, IL USA)
    1 out of 1 found this review helpful

    I don't like Jane Fonda because of her political views. However, there is no doubt that she is a talented actress and in this lightweight farce, she pretty much is the show.

    Fonda, an aging Barbara Walters TV personality type, is set out to pasture for being too old - and too crazy. Her sendup of a vapid talking head interviewing an even more vapid Britney Spears kind of pop tart is absolutely hilarious.

    Fonda's son, Michael Vartan has found the girl of his dreams, played by Jennifer Lopez. Both Vartan and Lopez both get billing over Fonda, but their performances are lightweight.

    Fonda, as the potential mother-in-law doesn't want her son to marry and sets out to derail the marriage.

    Her attempts are hilarious and much of the script focuses on good comedy and not a little slapstick. Wanda Syke's plays Fonda's long suffering assistant. She's good, but the character isn't all that believable. Of course, that is true for all the characters.

    Anyway, Fonda and Lopez engage in an all-out war and get a lot of laughs in the process.

    This movie is strictly for fun. It has no message. Just lean back, munch some popcorn and enjoy, particularly Fonda's performance.

    Jerry



    4 out of 5 stars Hilarious Romantic Comedy   October 16, 2008

    Just hilarious, from start to finish. Loved Jane Fonda and her assistant it was like a comedy from the 60's Compare "Barefoot in the Park". The face plant was just so excellent.

    Jane Fonda is a hoot in this movie. I liked the storyline. A great movie to see if you and your mother in law to be, are not in synch.

    5 out of 5 stars Hilarious!   August 8, 2008
    TCG (New York, USA)
    Look, I`m not a comedy guy. I love movies in general, but comedies is the one genre I usually stay away from. However, this movie, along with Ghost, made me laugh my behind off. Jane Fonda is a riot. And what about Wanda Sykes? She`s a gem. I bought this DVD and have watched it over and over and I have a blast every time. Even Jennifer Lopez is good in it. Highly recommended.
