Monster-in-Law (DVD, 2005, Platinum Series: 2-Disc Set)

"[T]he juxtaposition of Fonda with Lopez, now a star of comparable stature is shrewd..." Sight and Sound - Samuel Wigley (08/01/2005); I'll not agree with Wigley's critique because the balance between one hot long-standing star and one hot relatively new one could is not of comparable stature: J. Fo. steal the show!

I'm a big time Jane Fonda (J.Fo.) fan, the young lady who had to find her own way out from beneath her father's (Henry Fonda) gigantic shadow at a time when Hollywood was the valley of the dolls and drenched in drugs and liquor. "It's a hoot to watch Fonda cut loose and mix it up with J.Lo....Knockabout comic is just the latest incarnation in Fonda's life so far. Let her rip." Rolling Stone - Peter Travers (05/19/2005), seems to agree with me.

Who would have guessed that Jane Fonda would play her own age as mother-in-law so comically, when her acting history is not especially known for sharp witted comedy? J.Fo. you're still hot to trot! "Monster-in-Law" is Jane Fonda's ever so successful return to the big screen after a 14-year, well deserved, vacation.

The story line begins when waitress Charlie (J.Lo.) is searching for a nice guy to marry. She wants him to share her own wide variety of interests. Keith (Michael Vartan) seems to be her ideal match. Up to this point the story line is dull, unless you consider J.Lo. cute enough to make the story line something that doesn't matter; all too typical boy-meets-girl, marry, and breed like different-gender rabbits in a locked cage. Wanting to marry Charlie, Keith proposes. All too predictably dull.

However, his legendary television journalist mother, Viola (Jane Fonda, J.Fo.), who has an on-air breakdown after being replaced by a much younger woman, enters Keith's mind as a nightmare. Since her career is apparently over, for Viola, her energy is spent making the sun rise and set in Keith. All of her eggs in one son of a basket case.

Of course, with such high falutin standards of excellence combined with histrionic outbursts, Viola becomes determined to prove to Keith that Charlie is not of his caliber. Enter bluntly truthful Ruby (Wanda Sykes), Viola's assistant. And what we've got is a hilarious cauldron brewing to drive Charlie nuts.

Viola and Ruby use every antic any dubious mother-in-law has schemed, but she sorely underestimates Charlie's fight to let go of Keith and their future together.

Funny movie with a lot of romance makes for the perfect chick flick. I love this movie. Jane Fonda is a crazed woman on the verge of a melt down. Her hilarious antics prove to be more than J Lo can handle at times. The blooper reel is funny too. I highly recommend this movie to any couples getting ready to marry, or an old married couple chilling at home watching a movie.

As a new customer to e-bay, I was very impressed with this seller's product. The DVD was in excellent condition and was delivered in a timely manner.

This movie was OK. The acting wasn't the greatest and the story was a bit far fetched but still entertaining.

This movie is hysterical! Jane Fonda, as usual, does an amazing job at playing the overbearing, overprotective, insane mother-- can't imagine what kind of mother-in-law she would truly be for this cute couple in the future! Good luck to them! This DVD is a must for your collection!

i like the movie and i like how they played there parts and i think jlow did a really good job with her part in the movie.and the other people did a good job too.

Hilarious movie! Bought it for a friend's birthday who loved the movie. Jennifer Lopez, Jane Fonda and Wanda Sykes are Hysterical!!!!

I have been told about the movie on several occassions. I kept forgetting to rent it or look for it in Wal Mart. While doing some Ebay brousing, my friend happened to call me. I decided to look it up. You were the cheapest. I loved the movie. It was very cute and funny.

Thanks for the quick and secure shipment.

I love this movie, Monster-in-law. Its such a "bring out the claws aganist your future mother in law" type of movie between women. I'm pretty sure most of this stuff we would like to do to either some daughters/mothers in law for real. I brought it as a Christmas present for my niece as it was on her gift list for Santa. She's a big fan of JLo. There wasn't anything I dislike about it, I had seen the movie before, I may just have to buy another one for myself.

Excellent services.. The movie is in very Good condition as seen like new.... Good comunication and fast shipping... I recomended this seller....

This is one of those comic movies that you can really enjoy and want to watch again to see if there is anything you missed Jane Fonda plays a great and very funny role in this movie it is well worth it to watch her and laugh

The movie, Monster-in-law, was a cute,funny story. The plot-the mother, who feels no girl is good enough for her son- is great. The characters, Jolo & Jane Fonda performed spectacularly. The maid, added greatly to the movie. It was hilarious.

The movie was brand new and good quality. I gave it as a gift for Christmas and my mother love it, it is one of her favorite movies.

Quick shipping seller. Dvd is in great condition. Communication was terrific between buyer and seller. I would highly recommend this seller.

I really liked this movie a lot! It was very funny. I liked the actors in this movie and thought it should be good. I was not disappointed.

Thank you for the movie. I bought it for my wife for christmas, I know she will enjoy it. Thank you for shipping it as soon as you did.

I think this is Jane Fonda's best movie. She and Jennifer Lopez have such a great chemistry together and I laughed all the way through it! This is a movie that I could watch over and over again!

Great movie. I love the head on collision between Jennifer Lopez and Jane Fonda. Very entertaining movie.

Cute movie about a bride to be and the nasty mother in law that stricks us all.
shows that we're not alone in the hate the mother in laws who are over-bearing.
too bad it's NEVER GONNA HAPPEN this way. but it is a cute movie and how the fights start between them. cute movie watch it once just to stay you did

package in excellent condition as promised, delivered in a timely manner. This 100 characters is silly. If one can do it in several characters, then, the number of characters one uses is irrelevant.

I liked this item because it played good. I bought it because the price was right. It was shipped fast. Roadkinggrammy.

Love JLo in this movie. Great acting, comedy, conflict and resolution.
Jane Fonda is a Legend and her performance is legendary. She totally captures the character of the dreaded MIL who thinks that her son is Sun, Moon and Stars. JLo is the eclipse that brings her back to reality. A definite favorite on my list.

I had forgotten how absolutely HILARIOUS this movie was! Jane Fonda is BRILLIANT and her chemistry with Jennifer Lopez is great. And the guy is great fun to look at too! I HIGHLY recommend this movie if you like to laugh!

From the begining this was a good buy. The item discription was very clear, shipping was reasonable, and the item was recieved well with-in a week of payment. I recommend this seller to anyone. Great job.

I have yet to receive this item and it has been over a month. I would really like to watch it but I am unable since I don't have it. I have attempted to contact the seller but have received no reply to date. I understand that unforseen circumstances occur, so I am willing to give the seller the benefit of the doubt. It would be nice if they would responde when they are advised that their merchandise has not been received after an extended period of time.
