Maid In Manhattan
"The best romantic comedy since Pretty Woman." -Pat Collins, WWOR-TV
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).

Wonderful "Feel Good" Movie - maebers
So you'll know where I'm coming from, some of my favorite movies are "Parent Trap," "Father of the Bride," "Kate & Leopold." If you like these kinds of movies that leave you feeling good and happy about life, then you'll enjoy this tastefully done movie as well. I could have done without a certain scene between the two, but this movie has a lot to offer, and has a moral to teach as well. It has strong characters of positive principles, and there's even an "older man mentor," like from "Pretty Women," that adds that wholesome touch to the film.Chick Flick - Pumon
This is a modern retelling of a cinderella story starring Jennifer Lopez and Ralph Finnes. This indicates that you know exactly what is going to happen but that is typical of any chick flick. That being said it doesnt mean that you cant enjoy this movie becuase it is actually a lot of funmaid for New York - tlefrancois
I actually like this movie, it's not a movie that I would watch over and over, but when I need a little romance I take it out. Jennifer Lopez is okay in it, but not at her best. You discover an other side of Ralph Fiennes, I didn't know this actor by name but I can say that he impressed me in this movie. But this movie is worth a look for romance
