Das Schwiegermonster (2005)

Das Schwiegermonster: Directed by Robert Luketic. With Jennifer Lopez, Jane Fonda, Michael Vartan, Wanda Sykes. The love life of Charlotte is reduced to an endless string of disastrous blind dates, until she meets the perfect man, Kevin. Unfortunately, his merciless mother will do anything to destroy their relationship.

“Tedious mess that has multi-tasker Jennifer Lopez falling in love with the new surgeon in town (Michael Vartan of u0026quot;Aliasu0026quot; fame). A whirlwind love affair begins while Vartanu0026#39;s ex-news correspondent mother (Jane Fonda) simultaneously spends time in a psychiatric facility after having a nervous breakdown. Of course the writing is already on the wall when Vartan takes Lopez to meet his crazed mom. No chemistry between Lopez and Vartan makes the whole production fail early and by that time Fondau0026#39;s over-the-top role (still not quite sure why Fonda agreed to be in this movie) is not enough to sustain the audienceu0026#39;s interest. Fonda and Lopez end up behaving like spoiled teen-aged girls who are each vying for Vartanu0026#39;s full attention. Wanda Sykes is also along as Fondau0026#39;s very annoying assistant. Fonda deserves much better and the audience does too. 2.5 out of 5 stars.”
