Plot: Can a wealthy Republican politician find happiness with a chambermaid from the Bronx? One man is about to find out, though he hardly realizes it at first, in this romantic comedy from director Wayne Wang. Marisa Ventura (Jennifer Lopez) is a single mother who is raising her gifted but under-confident son Ty (Tyler Garcia Posey) on her own, with some help from her mother Veronica (Priscilla Lopez), after divorcing her husband. Marisa works as a housekeeper at the exclusive Beresford Hotel in Manhattan, where her boss Paula Burns (Frances Conroy) and chief butler Lionel Bloch (Bob Hoskins) urge Marisa and her best friend and fellow maid Stephanie (Marissa Matrone) to be as efficient and inconspicuous as possible. One day, while cleaning the room of noted socialite Caroline Lane (Natasha Richardson), Stephanie spies a beautiful designer gown and dares Marisa to try it on; against her better judgment, she does, and while all dolled up, she bumps into Christopher Marshall (Ralph Fiennes), a wealthy and well-bred bachelor who is running for the Senate. Immediately charmed, Chris asks Marisa to join him for a walk in Central Park, assuming she's the blue-blooded Caroline. Marisa manages to join Chris for the afternoon, with Ty in tow, and Chris finds himself quite taken with Marisa's beauty and down-to-earth personality, as well as Ty's precocious interest in politics. Chris later calls Caroline's room to set up a lunch date, but soon discovers the stuffy Ms. Lane is not the woman he met before. Marisa is also attracted to Chris, but while her friends encourage her to pursue a romance, Veronica believes her daughter is asking for trouble by trying to win a man so far out of her social strata. The supporting cast also includes Stanley Tucci and Amy Sedaris. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

An Awesome Romantic Comedy!!!

I thought this had a really good love story, and had hilarious moments! Jennifer Lopez and Matthew McConaughey were perfect together. Lopez stars as Mary Fiore who is a wedding planner that doesn't have a love life, until she is saved from an accident by Dr. Steve Edison. Mary begins to fall in love with him, until she realizes that he is engaged to her biggest client. I highly recommend THE WEDDING PLANNER!!!

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS SELLER!!!! I purchased my DVD and didn't receive it until 1 month later!!! Then I contacted the seller and he claimed that he didn't receive my original order which I find very hard to believe. I got an e-mail confirmation for this order from Amazon. Amazon is on top of things! I trust them more than I trust this seller. He was just making excuses so that I could give good feedback. But guess what, I didn't!!!

Would love to see a sequel.

A great movie. I applaud romance between two people with principles - honoring present commitment without the usual unnecessary sexual encounters - yet showing the physical attraction. (The scene with the statue is worth the price all by itself). Would love to see a part two with Jenifer and Matthew as a couple.

I had it on vhs so have upgraded to DVD. I believe this is a chick flick but I find it entertaining never the less. I am a guy who likes Lopez and if that isn't enough there is the blonde for the rest of you. Somewhat irregular story line, like getting his hand glued to the statue's genitals or the two guys riding the scooter through the bikers with the "just married sign" on the back was very humerous.

To understand why MAID IN MANHATTAN was so wildly popular at the box office when first released in 2002, one must first examine the times in which it first appeared. Less than a year on from September 11th, audiences needed fairytale escapism, and this movie delivered it with an adorable Jennifer Lopez (then riding high on her dual career of actress and chart-topping pop singer) and a whimsical Norah Jones soundtrack. Seven years later, does MAID IN MANHATTAN still hold it's entertaining spell? Yes...

Marisa Ventura (Jennifer Lopez) manages to juggle a hectic job of working as maid in the plush Beresford Hotel in New York with being a loving single mother to her 10-year-old son Ty (Tyler Garcia Posey). One day whilst fooling around in the closet belonging to globe-trotting socialite Caroline Lane (Natasha Richardson), she happens to bump into political campaigner Christopher Marshall (Ralph Fiennes) and a warm friendship begins which soon turns into romance. All the while hiding her true identity, Marisa teeters on the brink of losing her job--and a shot at landing a management position. Will she risk it all for another chance at love?

Lopez and Fiennes share a sleek chemistry; but Kevin Wade's screenplay oddly ends up following the supporting characters more closely and in greater depth than the leads. The late, great Natasha Richardson plays the shallow, bubble-headed socialite to a tee; and Bob Hoskins has some wonderful scenes as the Beresford's veteran butler. Keep your eyes peeled for Amy Sedaris ("Strangers with Candy"); as well as Broadway star Priscilla Lopez.

The other day, I watched this movie 'just for the heck of it' I actually liked it! It has a really good storyline. Marisa Ventura works at a hotel as a maid. She has a son named Ty. When Marisa is forced to put some expensive clothes on, senatorial candidate Christopher Marshall sees her and Ty and they take a walk around the park. They begin to like each other, and eventually fall in love but Chris doesn't know that Marisa is just a hotel maid. When he finds out the truth, will Chris still love her? I highly recommend MAID IN MANHATTAN!!!
