Monster-In-Law (2005)

I like Jennifer Lopez movies!

I know they're not very good, but I always seem to enjoy them. They're like fairy tales!

While Monster-in-Law has the unfortunate predicament of Jane Fonda chewing her way through virtually every scene, the scales are balanced by Wanda Sykes serving up sassy one-liners at Fonda, and, in the climactic showdown, Elaine Stritch (fortunately wearing pants) showing up to deliver some real zingers.

Through it all, J-Lo sticks to her guns, follows her heart, and never gives up. So should we all!
