Product Description Marisa Ventura (Jennifer Lopez) is a struggling single mom who works at a posh Manhattan hotel and dreams of a better life for her and her young son (Tyler Posey). One fateful day, hotel guest and senatorial candidate Christopher Marshall (Ralph Fiennes) meets Marisa and mistakes her for a wealthy socialite. After an enchanting evening together, the two fall madly in love. But when Marisa's true identity is revealed, issues of class and social status threaten to separate them. Can two people from very different worlds overcome their differences and live happily ever after? From acclaimed director Wayne Wang (Anywhere But Here) and co-starring Natasha Richardson, Stanley Tucci and Bob Hoskins, MAID IN MANHATTAN is "Romantic! Funny! Uplifting!" (Neil Rosen, NY1). .co.uk Review In the breezy Maid in Manhattan, a maid in a top-flight hotel (Jennifer Lopez) chances to dress in a guest's clothes just when a handsome political candidate (Ralph Fiennes) 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

A feelgood movie, all the family can enjoy together.
I watched this film with nine of my fellow residents in our retirement home last night and everyone agreed the storyline was so good. A few of us shed “happy tears” at the very end. Anyone looking for a nice Feelgood movie that is free from violence and bad language will enjoy this sometimes funny movie bringing together a single working mum and her young son with a single man longing for someone to love. Both from quite different backgrounds but they share one common goal, true love for each other. A film all the family.regardless of age can sit down and enjoy together.

An absolute delight of a film made the better by Jennifer Lopez
An absolute delight of a film made the better by Jennifer Lopez. I now know that I am in love with her. She is a maid at at a posh hotel in New York (Manhattan) who gets mistaken for a socialite whilst trying on one of her dresses one day in her room. However republican prospective senator sees her (Ralph Fiennes) and a situation starts between them until a class divide appears and eventually she is forced to face the truth about her actions. A really excruciating performance by the late Bob Hoskins as a butler at the hotel does add a little crap to the film but the scenes where her son appears (she is a single mum) are great what a scene-stealer he is doing a project funnily enough about Tricky Dicky Nixon for schoolAll in all a very good film and I am still in love. Jennifer look my way!!!

A goodie
A great chick flick with a handsome fit guy and a fit vulnerable gal with a cute kid and a happy ending. Lovely to see the late Natasha Richardson looking beautiful on screen before she was tragically killed in a ski-ing accident. I used to enjoy this movie but now see it with a sadness due to the loss of Natasha.
