Charlie (Jennifer Lopez) works a series of temp jobs and enjoys everything she does, making ends meet. It makes life inviting. One day, she meets Kevin (Michael Vartan), a doctor, and they hastily descend in care for. Kevin’s Mom is Viola Fields (Jane Fonda), a successful Barbara Walters-like network news anchor, with problems of her occupy. Kevin brings Charlie to his mother’s estate to meet her. Kevin decides to propose, in front of his mother. Viola clearly disapproves and sets about breaking them up. As she and Ruby (Wanda Sykes), her assistant, spot a series of events in motion, Charlie gradually begins to realize what she is working against and fights serve.
“Monster-In-Law”, directed by Robert Luketic (”Legally Blond”, “Score a Date With Tad Hamilton!”), frequently veers into sitcom territory.

The acting is very astronomical and cartoonish. At one point, Charlie, having pulled one off on Viola, shakes her head and sniggers, mighty like a Hanna Barbera cartoon character. Lopez’s character is all over the area. At one moment, she appears to be normal and caring and sympathetic, the other, she is acting like Peg Bundy from “Married with Children”. Fonda, returning to feature films after 15 years, is clearly having fun chewing the scenery. And it is fun to view her. But she is so over the top and Lopez is over the top only portion of the time, that it seems like a unpleasant sitcom. Wanda Sykes is very comical as Ruby. Her natural allegiance is with Viola, someone she has worked with for years, maybe decades, but she isn’t beyond dressing down her boss, pointing out the problems with her theories. When she realizes that this isn’t going to halt her boss, and Charlie is a stronger adversary, she begins to root a small for her. Michael Vartan (from TVs “Alias”) is a very beautiful guy, but he is virtually non-existent in this film. He is such a flat, stupid character that he gets completely lost in the wake of Hurricane Fonda and Tropical Storm Lopez.
The film would’ve worked better if the two lead actresses were more complimentary. As Fonda chews the scenery, Lopez moves from trying to represent a loyal woman to matching the overblown antics of her co-star. It might have been more successful if one of the two were cartoonish while the other was more natural. Providing more balance to the proceedings. Or, if they were equally unfamiliar. As it is, the film seems unbalanced. Odd.
This sort of legend naturally lends itself to a darker tone, but the filmmakers have steered determined of that. If the memoir moves slightly towards “dismal territory”, it like a flash veers aid into the noble and sunny territory everyone feels was notable to collect the film mass acceptance. At one point, Viola is so fed up with Charlie that she is about to shatter up some almonds and hump them into Charlie’s food. Earlier, Charlie remarked that she was allergic to nuts. Ruby talks her out of it. Why does she have to talk Viola out of it? The narrative sets up that Viola is more than a runt egomaniacal, more than a diminutive crazy, more than a runt excessive. It seems like her character would go through with something like this, no matter what. They pull Viola abet because they want her to remain sympathetic, for the sappy, sweet ending.
I did laugh. More than I expected to. Noteworthy of this laughter was created by Wanda Sykes. Ruby is the type of all-knowing character every lead customary to have. Consider Thelma Ritter in the 50s. A couple of her one-liners made me laugh out loud.
Because the filmmakers pull the punches, they engage the film of any dismal humor and relegate it to the annals of forgettable comedies on the shelf of every video store throughout the country.
From all of the unfavorable reviews I have read, I was expecting “Monster-In-Law” to be completely poor. I was surprised that I found myself laughing at the absurd situations. Certainly worth checking out on video, but a bargain matinee is pushing it.
This movie isn’t as abominable as a lot of reviewers beget it out to be. In a sea of unrelenting awful box office movies, this film at least keeps it’s head above water. For Jennifer Lopez fans, there is enough sweetness factor to maintain them blissful. The set is familiar and formulamatic, yet light and often amusing. Charlie (Lopez) has lead a life of many share time jobs and is getting along honest resplendent till she has a chance meeting with Dr. Kevin Fields (played a bit woodenly by Alias’ Michael Vartan) and falls in appreciate. Things couldn’t be better until Kevin arranges for Charlie to meet his mother, Viola Fields (Fonda) a talk reveal host keep out to pasture by her network and recently released after a shatter down from a hospital who has nothing left in life but making her son’s prespective dates sad. Kevin chooses to ask Charlie to marry him in front tof his mother and the hijinks originate. Viola has other plans and is hell crooked to atomize them up. But as misery loves company, Charlie decides to fight support. Throw in Wanda Sykes as Viola’s personal assistant who wants no fragment in this struggle and this makes for some very funny moments. Sykes is big in her limited role but really chews on the scenery and makes the most of a role written far to dinky for this big comedic talent. The movie is largely bewitching but you may want to rent it before actually making the hold. Worth a viewing at least.
