Maid in Manhattan

A very good and interesting movie.

Very cute movie

Fortunately, I had the chance to catch this Maid in Manhattan movie through my Amazon Prime account last night (Friday night Feb. 24, 2017) and I enjoyed the movie so much that I went ahead and purchased the film (digital version) by 11:32 p.m. that same night (last night). What was even more interesting, was that my husband playfully laughed at me because he spotted the Maid in Manhattan film being played on the E Channel today (the 2-4 pm timeslot where we live) less than a day after I watched and bought the movie previously unaware that it was going to be on television today. However, I am still glad to have watched and purchased the film for some of the following reasons; Jennifer Lopez’s role as Marisa Ventura, a female character who ambitiously juggles doing her best at her housekeeping job at the Beresford Hotel in Manhattan while taking care of her son Ty Ventura (Tyler Posey). Things are going well at her job and she even has a confidant in one of her coworkers Stephanie Kehoe (Marissa Matrone). However, Marisa Ventura’s life changes dramatically when she unintentionally crosses paths with politician Christopher Marshall (Ralph Fiennes) and his assistant Jerry Siegel (Stanley Tucci). One reason contributing to Ventura’s life changing yet also a complication; Marshall unintentionally perceives Ventura to be Caroline Lane (played by Natasha Richardson). I do feel that there is strong screen chemistry between the Christopher Marshall and Marisa Ventura characters. Additionally, there are other actors/actresses in this film who also contribute to the movie. However, I do feel that Natasha Richardson also gave a convincing performance as Caroline Lane and the crazy lengths she goes to vie for Marshall’s attention, even though Natasha Richardson was given a difficult job of playing the villain (Caroline Lane). I keep an open mind when it comes to the types of films I watch and the music I listen to. However, I admit that one of the reasons why this film caught my attention is because it features a Puerto-Rican and American female that I do not see that often in mainstream American films. I’m a part Puerto Rican and Menominee Indian female (who only knows a little Spanish) and who does not have to always see a female who is of a similar race (at least partially speaking), however it is nice during the rare/occasional times that it does happen. One of the general trivia facts listed at the beginning of the film (that I viewed while watching through my Amazon Prime account) is that; This film is loosely based on a true story in 1959, Steven Rockfeller, son of New York Governor Nelson Rockfeller married Anne-Marie Rasmussen, a maid who had worked at his family’s Manhattan hotel. Some of the various pop culture references in the Maid in Manhattan film; a sample of the Lovergirl song by Teena Marie briefly played, the character of Ty Ventura mentioning about listening to Simon & Garfunkel and what sounded like the best of Bread (if I heard correctly), Marisa Ventura’s character mentioning about her son studying 70’s history in school and him reading a biography about Henry Kissinger and studying Richard Nixon, brief samples of the songs played such as; I’m Coming Up, If Only You Believe, Come Away With Me and Don’t Know Why I Didn’t Call (Nora Jones).

Good story

A great romantic chick flick in which the female lead is a strong woman.

👍

A review... Okay, I've seen this so many times that I can quote it and I have. I don't know Jennifer Lopez as a singer. I've heard her sing and she has a lovely voice. I do think she is a great actress and a joy to watch. On here she is a maid named Marissa and she has a 10 year old son named Ty, who is obsessed with what he learned at school about the 70's. He has a "no show" dad who stiffs him on a weekend visit. She has a chance through her job to be manager and is training when they met Senator hopeful Chris Marshall. Marissa is being pulled in different directions. She has her son to be there for, friends at work pushing for her to be manager, a mom who is trying to convince her that she needs to get her head out of the clouds and stick to being a maid because she won't do any better, and a man who has caught her eye. She just has to follow her heart in the direction of what would make her happy and not focus on everyone else, just what's right by her and her son. It is a wonderful movie. You will also love her irritating friend/ co worker. It is funny. I won't say it's a tear jerker at all, but grab some tissues anyway.

One of my favorite films. If you enjoy yourself a film that has a hopeless romantic feel to it than you will enjoy Maid in Manhattan. I also love the setting of it and just how it's about a maid who isn't trying to find love and it's just happens unexpectedly and I love that about it. Its a fun film to watch.

Misrepresentation of products compatibility. Won't play in my country. Very sad :(
