Monster-in-Law

Monster-in-Law

Who's in it: Jennifer Lopez, Michael Vartan, Jane Fonda

What's it about: Some coincidental meetings bring Charlie(Lopez), a local temp, and Kevin(Vartan), a world famous doctor, together in an unbreakable relationship. Kevin's mother, Viola(Fonda), just was released from a mental hospital after being replaced on her talk show by a young woman. Kevin is the only family that she has left and she is determined to kick Charlie out of the picture. A fight breaks out between the two women and Kevin is unaware of the happenings that are occurring. The unbreakable relationship is now in the hands of Viola.

What I Think: This is a classic in-law movie. I loved every moment of it. You don't really understand that it's a comedy until a bit into the movie. I think that the romantic introduction really fools the viewer, but when Fonda comes into the movie, it's grand! Vartan is hardly in the movie except for just to be unknowing and to be Lopez's fiancee. I think that Lopez and Fonda made a great fighting family and the "pranks" they played on each other were great. My boyfriend and I were enjoying the continuous humour!
