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?

4.0 out of 5 stars Very sweet, 24 Jan 2005
Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Fiennes star in this modern-day fairytale about a single mother named Marisa Ventura (Jennifer Lopez) who is a maid in a posh hotel in Manhattan.
But one day, her son, Ty, bumps into senatorial candidate Christopher Marshall (Ralph Fiennes) who meets Marisa and mistakes her for a wealthy socialite. After an enchanting evening together, the two fall madly in love.
But how long can Marisa lie to Christopher?
This is a very sweet film which is perfect for a girly night in.

4.0 out of 5 stars Honesty and integrity, 10 Oct 2003
By A Customer
I don't normally watch movies so famous actors mean nothing to me. I judge by what I see and this really wowed me. The story of a Maid giving on to temptation and wearing clothes way above her station; of her resultant romance; discovery, and finally her honesty with him, and her willingness to start a new job again from the bottom really was moving. Her reward at the end was beautifully done. A lovely, gentle movie, nothing objectionable in it at all (and I'm pretty fussy) and one I will watch again and again1

5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest Modern Day Fairy Tale, 8 Jul 2003
Who would have thought a Maid from the wrong end of town, could end up with one of New Yorks most eligable Bachelors?

This film will make you smile, laugh and cry, it is a truly emotion provoking movie. J-lo is wonderful as Marissa Ventura, the hotel maid who ends up dating Chris Marshall the cool statesman (Ralph Fiennes), the plot revolves around their obvious feelings for one another and the complications for Chris Marshall, who plans to run for office, of dating a 'nobody'.

The film has brilliant supporting characters:

Caroline Lane - The wealthy, but obnoxious blonde middle aged Lady who is staying at the hotel.
Ty Ventura - Marissa's son, who's Hotel adventure brings Marissa and Chris Marshall together for the first time.
Jerry Seagel - Chris Marshalls mega stressing tour manager.

This film is for anyone with a romantic or sentimental side to them, who just wants a film that they can sit back chill out and just enjoy watching time and time again.
