‘Maid In Manhattan’ Comes Off ‘Forced’

Geoff Pevere of the Toronto Star reviewed the new Jennifer Lopez movie ‘Maid in Manhattan’, giving it two stars. Pevere called the movie “forced” and explained, “If ‘Maid In Manhattan’ had any genuine screwball salt, it would have reversed its perspective: The movie would have told the story from Marshall’s point of view, and emphasized the panic that erupts among his ballot-minded handlers when they realize their fair-haired boy has fallen for an Hispanic sheet-flattener. But that might also have reversed the politics too. Gosh knows we wouldn’t want that.”
