Maid in Manhattan... (2002)


The story is start with a maid named Marissa (Jennifer Lopez) gets a chance to dress a very expensive guest’s clothes, and just when a handsome political candidate (Ralph Fiennes) walks in. He finds she is so attractive and pursues her, while he thinks she is also a guest in the hotel, an attractive, unique and beautiful young woman. They fall in love soon.
Marissa is a young woman work in a hotel as maid for living; she is a single mother with a son. She works in the bottom of the hotel but she dreams to be a manager. One day when she got a chance to wear a guest’s cloth, without the guest’s knowledge, of course, Chris, the candidate, found her, he's bowled over and pursues her; he's initially drawn to her gorgeous good looks but soon comes to appreciate her honesty and common sense. Of course, she can't let him know that she's only a maid.
When her manager found her that she is the mysterious girl that date with the candidate, he told her to end up the relationship and tell him everything at the party night. She did it, at least, she tried. But after she goes there, she can’t control herself. She wants to leave, but Chris convinced her, “if this is the last night we have, then stay”. When she is discovered by her senior manager that she is the one that steal the guest’s cloth, it’s the time that Chris found she’s the maid. She was fired and left Chris, by covering her real feeling to him. But this is not the end, the end is he can’t get over her and at last they make it and live a happy life.
This is another movie about Cinderella fairy tale. I have to say, it’s superficial to some extent for today’s urban romance, although it’s about love, love without class, without status, and love can conquer everything.
