Delivers expectations as an entertaining comedy.
23 December 2007
I don't know why so many people hate this movie. I didn't have much expectations for it but I ended up having a really good time. Well I must say it was a boring Sunday and this was the most "decent" movie on HBO.

So well, I must say that "Monster In Law" delivers expectations for those who want to see a light romantic comedy with the occasional American humor and creative funny situations. Okay, this isn't a HILARIOUS movie but it surely can entertain the viewer because the story is simple but entertaining; the situations are funny and there's no place for drama. So if you want just a relaxing movie that won't make you feel anything but mindless fun, then this movie may do it for you.

Jane Fonda is simply a delight as Viola. The excellent actress has an unique charm that is so spectacular that she makes the entire movie worth watching. She's truly a MAGNIFICENT actress, even in movies like this.

Jennifer López isn't a bad actress and she has found that romantic comedies are her stuff. Good for her.

Wanda Skyes delivers a fantastic comedic performance. She reminds me of her character in "The New Adventures of Old Christine". She's simply hilarious and she's the soul of the comedic aspects of the movie.

Michael Vartan is simply good. Adam Scott, the super sexy Monet Mazur (the hot blonde from "40 Days and 40 Nights"), Will Arnett and the beautiful sexy Annie Parisse complement the great cast. I really dug it. Elain Stritch as Gertrude has minimal on-screen time but delivers a great comedic role.

Well give this movie a chance if you are in the mood for a romantic comedy that isn't very pretentious and that it's only purpose is to entertain. So give yourself a chance and let your brain take a break and watch this movie for silly entertainment.
