John Hughes of 'Breakfast Club' fame came up with the story for this under a pseudonym and it shows because it has many of the elements of his famous 80's teen films.I almost wish he'd gone a bit further and written the screenplay or even directed, because he could have boosted this film a lot.As it is this film is OK. Nothing special, just OK. It has its moments, and boasts a decent performance from Jennifer Lopez, who could probably do this sort of film in her sleep.The big thing that stopped me fully enjoying this film was the fact that I just couldn't buy Raiph Fiennes as the male lead in a romantic comedy. He seemed to have zero chemistry with Lopez and almost like he was out of place.Overall, an average romantic comedy.
Man it's been years since I properly seen Jennifer Lopez in a movie. I know she's currently doing a TV show series called "Shades of Blue" but other than that, she doesn't seem to be getting involved with other cheesy romantic-comedy movies recently!Anyways concentrating on the movie, I honestly didn't expect Ralph Fiennes (AKA Lord Voldermort in the Harry Potter Films) to be a love interest for Jennifer Lopez' character. He honestly had the charm but in my opinion, he's not that handsome really..I was even surprised that Tyler Posley as the wee boy was on this. He was so cute as a child, why did he have to get involved in ruining the original "Teen Wolf". He should be doing better projects than this, he has so much potential than being the main character in Teen Wolf...I think this is a good film, not cute or 110% excellent but it's grand to watch if you don't know which movie you're watching tonight haha.
I am no fan of "Chick Flicks", and as a straight guy into action films, this movie was not exactly targeted at me. However, I decided to review this film, because they decided to remake it as a Mexican Telenovales, and my question is why?(Unless they think a cast of unknowns would work better than JLO & Finnes better (It might actually happen although 20 hours of this film would sicken me)). This movie is lame at best, and there is no drama, humor, suspense, and worse, no chemistry with JLO and Finnes (He even has more in common with the kid). It is basically a fairy tale along the lines of "Ever After" (Which is a better film, because there is some action (Drew Barrymore with a sword), and shockingly Barrymore is hotter in that film than Lopez is here which with the notable exception of "Bad Girls" is not true). Is this the worst film of its type? No it isn't "the Sweetest Thing" is, but it is still a 1 star film.
Nice fantasy romance starring Jennifer Lopez that seems to rank high amongst her fans.Marisa Ventura (Jennifer Lopez) is a single parent maid working at a high end hotel in Manhattan. She meets Chris (Ralph Finnes) a wealthy politician who finds her son cute and also falls for her head over heels, but he thinks she's also from a privileged background. Soon he finds out her true identity. Will her romance survive ?This is a modern day Cinderella story. By no effort of her own, she goes from a maid to becoming affiliated with the highest echelon of the society. Coveted, desired and protected by a strong man who also likes her son and is very nice to him as well. It's an escapism, but it works. The opinions may be divided on this movie. Some may find the story too convenient. Other's may find the story a transporting experience for 100 minutes. One thing is for sure. If someone else played the lead, this movie would have been just a soap opera, but credit goes to Jennifer Lopez for turning a flop into a box office success. She brings quality to the movie that wouldn't deserve the class if she wasn't in it.
