When the versatile and simple Charlotte (Jennifer Lopez) meets the surgeon Kevin (Michael Vartan), she finds her Prince Charming. Meanwhile, his obsessive mother and famous anchor Viola (Jane Fonda) is replaced on her TV talk show and has a nervous breakdown. When she leaves the clinic, Kevin schedules a visit with Charlie to her mansion and unexpectedly proposes Charlie. Viola decides to plot a despicable plan to make Charlie crazy and call off their weeding. When Charlie discloses the scheme of her future mother-in-law, she pays her back for her malice.
"Monster-in-Law" is a hilarious underrated comedy, highly recommended for days of migraines, headaches or bad humor. In her return to the cinema industry, Jane Fonda "steals" the movie and has an excellent performance in the role of a possessive mother that does her best trying to avoid the marriage of her beloved son scaring her daughter-in-law. Jennifer Lopez is also great in the role of a sweet and hard worker woman, in love with her Mr. Right and threatened by a merciless paranoid mother-in-law. Wanda Sykes, Michael Vartan, Adam Scott, Annie Parisse and Monet Mazur complete the good cast of this funny movie. My vote is seven.
