Here are some customer reviews of
Monster-in-Law
: I went to this movie only because Michael Vartan was in it, so I didn't have very high expectations. However, I was pleasantly surprised that it was a very, very funny movie. There were many times where everyone in the cinema was laughing out loud. It is very rare to find a movie of this genre that you can actually say was well done. The writing was brilliantly funny and the actors did a good job. I enjoyed it tremendously and highly recommend it to anyone looking to have a good time at the movies.
 we all know the typical story of meet my familly. its been used in "Meet the parents", "Meet the Folkers" and "Gusse who?"
its all about the guy wanting to marry the girls but is terrified of meeting the father, when he does meet the father, father doesnt like him. he ends up lying to the girl, girl doesnt like the guy, father helps guy, and they all live hapilly ever after. well i cant say that this is much of a difference, what i can say is that, this time there is a little twist. this time the girl is terriffied of meeting the mother.
Jeniffer Lopez has proven to be a diva in all aspects of her carreer, so it is only fitting for her to play the lead role in this movie.
This movie was very funny and cute. Jane Fonda was a riot and Jennifer Lopez was extremely charming and a joy to watch on screen. Wyanda Sykes was so funny and this movie was just so much fun. I'm a guy (17) and I took my sister (14) to this since we had nothing else to do and it was raining and we both loved it. I was a little skeptical since it was a chick-flick but the old formula works well here and J.Fo and J.Lo play off each other perfectly! Everyone in the theater was laughing out loud we had alot of fun and I recomend this movie to anyone looking for a good time. If you liked other J.Lo films like THE WEDDING PLANNER (2001) or if you liked MEET THE PARENTS (2000) you will like MONSTER-IN-LAW (2005).
This is a Jane Fonda movie. Without her, this movie would have been typical Hollywood fodder. This not a movie that will challenge your
mind or make history. It's mindless entertainment, nothing more. The movie has some very good moments and it is mostly from Fonda. Could there have been a better Fonda comeback. Yes, but this is what she wanted. Lopez is fine. My wife found her weave to be distracting. (That's minor) Wanda Sykes should have been used more that just a Fonda sidekick. Overall 3 1/2 stars.
 I saw this at the premiere in Atlanta a couple weeks ago. Jane Fonda was there, and so was Jennifer Lopez.
Since it was Jane's big comeback, though, and it was her charity's fundraiser, she sat and watched the whole movie. Thank God she was there, though, because her scenery-chewing, over-the-damn-top, broadly comic performance is HILARIOUS.
My mom said herself, "I never much agreed with her politics, but Jane Fonda is a GREAT actress. That was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time, and she should get an Oscar for it. She stole that whole movie. And I liked J-Lo, too. I thought she was sweet."
Maybe it was because I was in a good crowd (which I understand can influence the experience), but "Monster-in-Law" came off as a really, really funny movie. There were about a dozen laugh-out-loud moments, and it's the best Jennifer Lopez movie I've seen in a long time. And you get more fight scenes (real and imagined) than I thought possible. And Wanda Sykes, though her asides were planted a few times too many, has great delivery. Michael Vartan, sadly, doesn't get much to do besides look really good.
Mom walked out of the theater and called the whole experience a blast.
