(1 - 33) of 33 OFCS Rating: 9% Rotten Page   1   "I think if 'Monster-in-Law' had been a horror flick instead of a comedy it might have worked for me. As is, it's just a horror of a movie."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker D "There’s just so much tomfoolery between the two, it felt like I was watching a special divorcée edition of Viva la Bam."   FilmJerk.com   Brian Orndorf C "The catfight battle between Fonda and Lopez barely reaches a simmer before all is forgiven and the audience is dismissed from their seats."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey "Reviled for selling themselves, for wielding power, Fonda, Lopez, and to an extent, Sykes have turned their seeming threats into commodities. "   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 1/4 "The script can't even get from A to B without the seams showing."   Slant Magazine   Dan Callahan 1/5 "You’ve got the makings of one royally uninspired comedy and utterly generic Hollywood mess."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 1.5/4 "...Jane Fonda probably should have stayed retired (the actress emerged from a 15-year sabbatical for this?)"   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 2/4 "The intentionally over-the-top, at times cheerfully wicked, streak is greatly harmed by a cop-out conclusion that pushes the tone toward falsely uplifting mawkishness."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman D+ "Maybe 35 years from now Jane Fonda will apologize for this picture, too."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider C "Jane Fonda makes it out alive, but the movie never drew a breath to begin with."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov 2/4 "...feels like some rejected TV sitcom pilot with its inane one-joke premise about fussing females and their trivial tirades...a clueless and contrived concoction"   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng D+ "Strident and unvaried, this one-joke farce is as silly and lazy as any third-rate sitcom."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 1.5/5 "An unappealing comedy with a terminal case of bad choices"   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 1.5/4 "The experience of viewing this movie represents a one-way ticket into tedium and a forced 90-minute imprisonment with Jennifer Lopez and Jane Fonda, both of whom give performances that can charitably be called cringe-inducing."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/4 "the romance is not interesting; the catfights at least have some potential"   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 1/5 "Tired comedy pits Jennifer Lopez and Jane Fonda against each other ... and the audiences loses."   Netflix   James Rocchi '1/4' "Lots of potential for laughs but few if any genuinely funny moments."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 2/5 "full review in Greek"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 2.5/5 "Jane Fonda came back from the dead, and Jennifer Lopez came back from Gigli to make the new comedy Monster-in-Law."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr C+ "Elaine Stritch displays the real deal in in-law acid as Viola's late husband's mother in the film's last act"   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford 1.5/5 "Fonda, who returned to movies after a 15-year absence only to find herself facedown in a plate of tripe, handles her on-screen humiliation with considerable grace."   TV Guide's Movie Guide   Maitland McDonagh C- "The nastier comedy that Monster-in-Law demands is a bad fit for [Luketic]."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer "Fifteen years absent from the big screen, and this is what Jane Fonda comes back to? Catfights with J. Lo?"   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 1.5/4 "The humor of this movie has been pitched at the wrong level...it’s just 100 minutes of women being cruel to each other."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan C+ "The stakes seem so petty and the tactics so unimaginative that it has no more appeal than stale wedding cake. "   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 1/5 "Graças a este filme, descobri um fato fascinante: um garçom sempre terá impulsos incontroláveis de servir as pessoas, mesmo quando for apenas um convidado em uma festa."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 1/5 "Fails on so many levels that it is difficult to even know where to start."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 3/5 "While there are moments of hilarious nastiness, the film continually opts to play it safe."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 3/5 "Somebody help me – I’m turning into Roger Ebert."   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell 3/10 "For a romantic comedy, it's neither romantic nor funny."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger 0/4 "Fonda: pushing, pushing up daisies."   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf Read review   Cinema Crazed   Felix Vasquez Jr.  (1 - 33) of 33 OFCS Rating: 9% Rotten Page   1
