Plot:
In this modern-day spin on Cinderella, Jennifer Lopez plays Marisa Ventura, a single mother in New York City who works as a maid at a four-star Manhattan hotel. When she meets Christopher Marshall (Ralph Fiennes), a Kennedy-like heir to a political dynasty and a senatorial hopeful, he mistakes her for a guest at the ritzy establishment. They go on a date, but when Marisa's true identity is revealed, it seems as though the two are worlds apart.

"… badly acted, blandly directed, and could have been scripted by someone who just graduated from elementary school....." -- Reel Views ( Read Review )
"… an unholy tryst between PRETTY WOMAN (1990) and WORKING GIRL (1988) …...." -- TV Guide ( Read Review )
"Everything in "Maid in Manhattan" is exceedingly pleasant, designed not to offend. It goes down easy, leaving virtually no aftertaste....." -- Chicago Tribune ( Read Review )
