Maid In Manhattan

Movie: Maid In Manhattan

Director: Wayne Wang

Actors: Jennifer Lopez, Ralph Fiennes



Snap out of it!! Alright. He doesn’t love you and you don’t love him. You have no connections, affiliations or loyalties. You are from two different worlds.

He is Christopher Marshalls (Ralph Fiennes) running for the senate, and she is Marisa Ventura (Jennifer Lopez) running around her odd job as a maid in a hotel to meet ends. Marisa is cleaning a guest’s suite when she stealthily dresses up in a Dolce Gabbana of that guest. That is when Mr. Marshall mistakes her for a wealthy woman and happens to go out on a walk with her. One thing leads to another. She doesn’t reveal her identity and continues to bump into him off and on. They fall in love and spend a night together.



Hell breaks loose as the Hotel finds out due to extremely overbearing and suspicious guest who has more than just a slight crush on our Mr. Politician. Her identity is disclosed in front of Marshalls while the paparazzi happily involve itself.

Mostly people from two different worlds do part ways, never to meet again. The practicality overcomes the magic; the crude image building often becomes the rude replacement for true desires. But this one is a fairy tale story, the modern day prince and peasant. And fairy tales never get out of fashion do they?

Shit happens. Love happens. And then- I love you and you love me too. Our hearts connect. Affiliations dissolve and loyalties are strengthened in the one world that you and I make.

Watch the independent woman get her man, her job and more. Its innocent, cheerful, and....well... a good time pass.
