The premise, though hardly fresh, has the makings of a ferocious black comedy. But Monster-in-Law is more a sour pastel.

A banal and lukewarm slice of romantic comedy and family histrionics.

This really plays a like a really bad sitcom from forty years ago.

I really wanted to like Monster-in-Law, and in many ways I do, even if the overall impression left by the comedy is one more of desperation than inspiration and excuse me if I want a little bit more depth to my storylines than what's supplied here.

In a movie about diva-to-diva warfare, each diva is miscast.

Aug 04, 2016J-Lo, artsy and aimless with her sundress over pants (#RespectTo90sFashion), falls into Michael Vartan's Michael Vartanian gaze and must contend with her new ridiculously heinous mother-in-law. So bland, and insultingly unfunny. Bright spot was seeing Adam Scott in an early film role as the gay best friend, styled like a Y2K ninth grader with an oversized polo shirt and shaggy hair.Alice S Super Reviewer

Dec 26, 2011Jane is lovely, Lope sucked. The film has nothing new at all, just cliche romantic comedy formula. I don't think I laughed at all in the 101 minutes experience, not worth watchingSylvester K Super Reviewer

Jun 23, 2011Bad return of Jane Fonda to the cinema. Monster-in-Law have a terrible and tired script. A poor work of Richard LaGravenese. Rotten.Lucas M Super Reviewer

Jun 23, 2011Some of the scenes were funny between Jennifer Lopez and Jane Fonda. But, sadly just another average chick flick where you know the ending by the start of the film.Bethany M Super Reviewer
