Gasp...an A- rating?! For a film I originally had no interest in seeing, I must admit that I had a great time and still find myself playing gut busting scenes back in my head. Jennifer Lopez may have received top billing, but the real star of the show was Jane Fonda who played the title character with such natural ability, you wonder if life imitates art. Also notable was Wanda Sykes who, like a bandit, stole the scene every chance she could get. The two make for an interesting pairing that totally works and is the latest incarnation of the "The Odd Couple." Tonight was an opportunity to attend a red-carpet premiere of Monster-in-Law to benefit G-CAPP (Georgia Campaign For Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention), a charity spearheaded by Fonda and a worthy cause that has educated and given so many young mothers an opportunity for a more fulfilling life. All of the film's primary stars were in attendance (minus Michael Vartan due to the filming of Alias), which had the star struck crowd happy and in good spirits going into Atlanta's Fox theatre. |
Grade: A- |Charlie (Lopez) is a carefree spirit and a woman of multiple professions. From a morning dog walker to afternoon gigs as a medical clinic temp to a bashful artist in her free time, she has yet to conquer the romance department. On one normal morning of dog walking, while reading a fortune cookie prophesying that love is right in front of her, she locks eyes with a jogging Kevin (Vartan) but is too love stricken to say anything. After chance meetings thereafter the two finally meet and life is good...that is, until Kevin's mother steps into the picture. Confucius didn't see that one coming.
