As an esteemed television journalist put out to pasture by the networks and faced with the engagement of her son, Jane Fonda is fierce, funny, and ready to rumble as the title character in Monster-in-Law in a way that the rest of the film itself never really is. Jennifer Lopez, the film's other above-the-title star, is set to marry handsome, wealthy Michael Vartan but has one helluva time dealing with his insanely possessive mother. The result is pretty much what you'd expect--lots of snarls and slapstick and an easy, kisses-all-around conclusion, though it is surprising (and maybe a little disheartening) to watch Fonda throw herself into such disposable comedy with such gusto. Director Robert Luketic, who slept while Reese Witherspoon tottered off with his Legally Blonde, once again relies solely on the assembled talent: He leaves a high-wattage Lopez playing things a little too cute, a reedy Vartan looking visibly disinterested, and canny comedian Wanda Sykes making what she can--which, luckily, is a lot--of her role as Fonda's wisecracking personal assistant (the type of black sidekick role that's an indication of how creakily formulaic the film is). See it for Fonda, if you feel like it, then wish her a better engagement in the future. --Steve Wiecking

Just hilarious, from start to finish. Loved Jane Fonda and her assistant it was like a comedy from the 60's Compare "Barefoot in the Park". The face plant was just so excellent.

Jane Fonda is a hoot in this movie. I liked the storyline. A great movie to see if you and your mother in law to be, are not in synch.

Look, I`m not a comedy guy. I love movies in general, but comedies is the one genre I usually stay away from. However, this movie, along with Ghost, made me laugh my behind off. Jane Fonda is a riot. And what about Wanda Sykes? She`s a gem. I bought this DVD and have watched it over and over and I have a blast every time. Even Jennifer Lopez is good in it. Highly recommended.

My whole family enjoyed this comedy and enjoyed seeing Jane Fonda in movies again. Jane tries to prevent the wedding by Jennifer Lopez and her fiancie, Jane's son. All works out in the end thanks to Jennifer
Lopez standing firm.
