Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

Calum Hutton It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

OllieSuave-007 This is a pleasant movie about single mother Marisa Ventura (Jennifer Lopez), who works as a maid in a first-class Manhattan hotel, and meets senate candidate Christopher Marshall (Ralph Fiennes), who believes that she is a socialite at the hotel. When Marisa's true identity is revealed, the two find that they are worlds apart, but their hearts falling close to each other.Jennifer Lopez, being better known as a pop singer, actually wasn't shabby in her role. Ralph Fiennes served up his role pretty well, also, and I thought the two had some great on-screen chemistry together. The story was pretty inspiring, tastefully done plot-wise, and contained a lot of feel-good elements and positive notes.It's not the best romantic comedy I've seen, as some of the acting does fall short and much of the movie has a fantasy vs. reality feel to it. However, it is still a delightful film that is recommended over those trendy, annoyingly-bubbly chick flicks.Grade B-

ebiros2 Nice fantasy romance starring Jennifer Lopez that seems to rank high amongst her fans.Marisa Ventura (Jennifer Lopez) is a single parent maid working at a high end hotel in Manhattan. She meets Chris (Ralph Finnes) a wealthy politician who finds her son cute and also falls for her head over heels, but he thinks she's also from a privileged background. Soon he finds out her true identity. Will her romance survive ?This is a modern day Cinderella story. By no effort of her own, she goes from a maid to becoming affiliated with the highest echelon of the society. Coveted, desired and protected by a strong man who also likes her son and is very nice to him as well. It's an escapism, but it works. The opinions may be divided on this movie. Some may find the story too convenient. Other's may find the story a transporting experience for 100 minutes. One thing is for sure. If someone else played the lead, this movie would have been just a soap opera, but credit goes to Jennifer Lopez for turning a flop into a box office success. She brings quality to the movie that wouldn't deserve the class if she wasn't in it.

ramin99 I don't get it, why would a rich politician fall for some ghetto girl? Why would he sport a perpetual goofy smile on his face? I get it, because he likes her. He fell for her instantly, why, because she has a nice behind? This is preposterous, against all reason. The kid was a nuisance and not at all believable as a kid who's genuinely interested in politics. Is there such a kid anywhere, anytime? Ralph Fiennes is a talented actor, so it is sad to see him stoop to such clichéd garbage. J.Lo can't act nor sing, should really get a low paying job, I have no idea why she's famous! There is no comedy in the film, there is only a bad Cinderella story. Recommended for women who believe in such nonsense, guys should stay away from it.

lisafordeay I remember seeing this in the cinemas back in 2002 and my mom dragged me to see it. I of course thought that it was going to be so stupid but I decided to check it out. I also recorded in on VHS a few years back and I saw it on TV loads of times. Its about a single parent(maybe divorced) who has an adorable son named Ty(this reminds me of that 2007 film Enchanted with its cute frothy plot and the single parent in love with a dude who has a high up job).One day Marisa( Jennifer Lopez) is so friggin stupid she decides to try on someone elses clothes(Oh the horror LOL) when all of a sudden smiley politician Chris comes in sees her in these expensive clothes,thinks she's a guest but she's not and to top it all off she uses a new idenity Caroline(is this guy so blind or stupid as he saw her in the loo and his all lovey doupy with her guess so).The romance between Ralph Fiennes and Jennifer Lopez is kinda dull as there is no spark like in other rom coms like Enchanted where Amy & Patrick had great chemistry in that film or any other rom com. Some scenes were kinda dull like the maddox scene with the dancing was poor,if there was a better song and some better choreography it might have been better.The only think I enjoyed in this film was the ending where the two would be lovers end up being together in the end.If you love frothy rom coms and cheesy plots then check it out.
