Leave your thoughts about Monster-in-Law.
| FilmJerk.comBrian OrndorfThere's just so much tomfoolery between the two, it felt like I was watching a special divorcée edition of Viva la Bam. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyJane Fonda digs into her part with such campy relish that she seems to be having an actor's holiday in an otherwise overly campy, calculated and uninspired comedy. |
| NewsdayGene SeymourFor all the frenzied (and badly staged) I Love Lucy-style slapstick, the movie's core conflict is just a marketing concept, a fluffy showcase of dueling auras with nothing much at stake and nothing really imperiled. |
| Dallas Morning NewsPhilip WuntchMonster-in-Law proves that the once intense Ms. Fonda is capable of laughing at the world in general and herself in particular. |
| Richmond Times-DispatchMike WardJ. Lo and Fonda are Booty and the Beast... |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittIn any case, the news here is not the movie but the movie star. Jane Fonda is back, and let's hope the movies can figure out how to plant her somewhere she can flourish. |

| Reel.comTimothy KnightThe redoubtable Ms. Fonda is the main attraction in Monster-in-Law, which generates just enough laughs to raise it a notch above serviceable. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)In any case, the news here is not the movie but the movie star. Jane Fonda is back, and let's hope the movies can figure out how to plant her somewhere she can flourish. |
| Rolling StonePeter TraversIt's a hoot to watch Fonda cut loose and mix it up with J. Lo, even when the laughs turn mean-spirited. |
