She met the perfect man. Then she met his mother.

After years of looking for Mr Right, Charlotte 'Charlie' Cantilini (Jennifer Lopez) finally finds the man of her dreams (Michael Vartan) only to discover that his mother, Viola, (Jane Fonda) is the mother-in-law from hell!

A recently fired national news anchor who is afraid she'll lose her son the same way she lost her career, Viola is determined to scare-off her son's new fiancée by becoming the world's worst mother-in-law. While Viola's long-time assistant, Ruby (Wanda Sykes), does her best to help execute their crazy schemes, Charlie fights back to see who'll become the alpha-female!

'Monster In Law' marks the return of one of Hollywood's finest actresses in Jane Fonda. After a 14 year absence from the movies, Fonda has lost none of the spark and charisma she is noted for. It is said that she based her character on billionaire ex-husband Ted Turner!

Probably Jennifer Lopez's best film she has starred in. I loved it, from beginning to end. Worth a watch for any film fan!

 Fiendishly Good Fun To Watch

At first this movie seems like just another lame rom-com as the wistful (Jennifer Lopez) makes goggle eyes at (Michael Vartan). It's only when (Jane Fonda) enters the scene as potential mother-in-law Viola Fields that the action really locks into gear. Viola is a washed-up chat show host fresh from the funny farm after having a breakdown on national television. With little left to live for, she refuses to let a "temp" steal her precious boy and so the games begin...
She does get upstaged, however, by scene-stealers Wanda Sykes, as Fonda's sharp-tongued personal assistant who tries to derail her plots.
Fonda has good chemistry with co-star Lopez, but I can't say as much for the chemistry between Lopez and Vartan though. I couldn't believe that they were in love. "Monster-In-Law" does earn laughs on a fairly steady basis -- but not enough of them to make up for the fact that it's not the best romantic comedy overall. Bearing that in mind, however, Monster-In-Law is fiendishly good fun to watch.

 GOOD FILM
