For a revenge comedy to work, the villain should be so despicable that you relish those moments when the victim turns the tables and gets even. This flick is misleading because the title character is not really mean, but rather a sympathetic figure.May 13, 2005
In a movie about diva-to-diva warfare, each diva is miscast.May 13, 2005
It's a crude, obvious comedy, which occasionally clunks, but it's often very funny, as well as being a really shrewd bit of popular entertainment.May 11, 2007
In the American tradition of diva moms from hell.April 08, 2011
Fonda is terrific playing the mess that is Viola. Her introduction tells you everything you need to know about her: after learning she has been fired she attacks a vacuous Britney Spears clone on air. It never reaches that kind of mean-spirited fun again.May 16, 2005
This really plays a like a really bad sitcom from forty years ago.May 13, 2005
Fonda and Sykes are made for each other, and their incessant bickering and arguing are about the only things that give Monster-in-Law any life.June 20, 2009
The catfight battle between Fonda and Lopez barely reaches a simmer before all is forgiven and the audience is dismissed from their seats.November 02, 2006
For such a rich premise, Kochoff produced a fairly lackluster script.May 13, 2005
Monster-in-Law is a comedy without laughs and a catfight without claws.March 01, 2007
In this casting match-up, Lopez is totally outclassed.May 13, 2005
Trust me, Monster-in-Law not only makes more sense as an Unforgiven-ish parable of old-school Hollywood feminism's wrath, it's worlds more fun.
