Cinderella from the Bronx: Wayne Wang's 2003 "Maid in Manhattan"
My (small but hardy) band of regular readers will know that I don’t watch many romantic comedies. Indeed, when a Korean quasi-relative high-schooler was here and hoped for a romantic comedy in English in color and with English-language subtitles, I couldn’t produce one from my library...

Maid in Manhattan [VHS]
In the breezy Maid in Manhattan, a maid in a top-flight hotel (Jennifer Lopez, Out of Sight, The Wedding Planner) chances to dress in a guest's clothes just when a handsome political candidate (Ralph Fiennes, Schindler's List, Red Dragon) walks in. Naturally, he's bowled over and pursues her; he's initially drawn to her gorgeous good looks but soon comes to appreciate her honesty and common sense. Of course, she can't let him know that she's only a maid, and various high jinks ensue--it's all pretty formulaic, but lurking in the edges of this glossy, brainless romance are a wealth of sly turns by Natasha Richardson and Amy Sedaris (as callow socialites), Bob Hoskins (as a dignified butler), Stanley Tucci (as Fiennes' exasperated campaign manager), and many less familiar faces. All help to give Maid in Manhattan the life and texture that has been processed out of the main characters. --Bret Fetzer

| Professional Reviews | (03/01/2003, p.61, Michael Tunison): "...Lopez shines....The heroine is written as a classic underdog...Lopez invests her with the extra dose of dignity and quiet determination that gives her substance...", (12/02/2002, p.40-1, Robert Koehler): "...Jennifer Lopez revels in the star role....Fiennes hasn't looked so relaxed onscreen since moments in THE ENGLISH PATIENT...", (12/13/2002, p.E1, A. O. Scott): "...You would have to go back to Claudette Colbert or the young Lauren Bacall to find an actress capable of projecting so much erotic self-confidence in a single gaze..." | |
