5.0 out of 5 stars An Instant Classic, July 12 2004

This review is from: Maid in Manhattan (Widescreen) (DVD)

Maid in Manhattan is a gem, a romantic comedy destined to be one of the classics. The story of a hotel maid who accidentally meets an aspiring senator and contrives to have him believe she is actually a wealthy hotel guest harkens back to the romantic comedies of the 1940's. Indeed, Liam Neeson is a modern-day Cary Grant in this film.

The movie, in addition to all the fun, points out serious issues of class and race differences. And in a very touching way, the movie asks us to take a look at ourselves: our jobs, our lives, and to ask ourselves, are we holding back from our dreams because we have been taught that this is as far as we can go? Maid in Manhattan is inspiring to anyone who has looked wistfully at a star, but did not believe she deserved to try to reach it.

Bob Hoskins turns in a wonderful performance as a hotel butler. He has some of the best lines in the film.

2.0 out of 5 stars average chick flick, Jun 26 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Maid in Manhattan (Widescreen) (DVD)

well all ive got to say about this movie is its another chick flick. guy sees women. women sees guy, they meet in some awkward situation, they fall in love eventually, the end. the movie doesnt really have anything special about it (except that it has jlo in it of course...... lol) but i honestly wouldnt even rent it unless u rent movies a lot. but if u got like comcast digital cable look for it on there.

2.0 out of 5 stars Cinderella version "n"
This film doesn't have anything new. It's not even funny, so it cannot be a romantic comedy. I think it is sort of a melodrama. Read more
