Leave your thoughts about Maid in Manhattan.
| Arizona Daily StarPhil VillarrealIt's tough to imagine this film being any better than it is. |
| Film BlatherEugene NovikovThe ending is so inspirational, it may just make you want to kill yourself. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford"Maid in Manhattan" is a charmer, a PC "Pretty Woman" that ditches the odious prostitution theme for class commentary |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekAs flimsy and predictable as they come, but still a reasonably tolerable bit of formulaic fluff. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin... it's not Pretty Woman - she's not a hooker, she's Puerto Rican! |
| MovieMartyr.comJeremy HeilmanAs a romantic comedy it stands out amongst its peers. The critical attacks hurled on it, like those on its star, seem mostly unwarranted. |
| Reel.comPam GradyA predictable Cinderella story in the Pretty Woman /Working Girl mold that is undone by a preposterous plot and its stars' complete lack of chemistry. |
| London Evening StandardAlexander WalkerFiennes is at a disadvantage, an actor, not a comedian... Lopez is a perfectly efficient comedienne. But mixed together, they're a few retorts short of a chemistry lesson. |
| Eclipse MagazineSean O'ConnellEmploys so many mechanical plot devices, it might want to change its title to Made in a Factory. |
| San Diego Union-TribuneDavid ElliottApart from the see-through script that is like a '30s society comedy dumbed down to I Am Sam's Maid, the film is most marked by the flagrant waste of talent. |
