Community Reviews
Viewers generally find 'Maid in Manhattan' to be a charming and nostalgic rom-com, reminiscent of early 2000s cinema. Jennifer Lopez shines in her role, contributing to the film's feel-good, albeit predictable, nature. While the plot is filled with clichés and some implausible scenarios, it still manages to entertain and evoke a sense of nostalgia. Ralph Fiennes, however, receives mixed reviews for his romantic lead performance.
👍 Jennifer Lopez's performance is a highlight.
👎 Plot predictability may disappoint.
