Monster-in-Law Ratings & Reviews
Newsweek
David Ansen
The premise, though hardly fresh, has the makings of a ferocious black comedy. But Monster-in-Law is more a sour pastel.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
A banal and lukewarm slice of romantic comedy and family histrionics.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
This really plays a like a really bad sitcom from forty years ago.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
I really wanted to like Monster-in-Law, and in many ways I do, even if the overall impression left by the comedy is one more of desperation than inspiration and excuse me if I want a little bit more depth to my storylines than what's supplied here.
Washington Post
Stephen Hunter
In a movie about diva-to-diva warfare, each diva is miscast.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
Fonda and Sykes are made for each other, and their incessant bickering and arguing are about the only things that give Monster-in-Law any life.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Monster-in-Law is a comedy without laughs and a catfight without claws.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
It's a crude, obvious comedy, which occasionally clunks, but it's often very funny, as well as being a really shrewd bit of popular entertainment.
New York Daily News
Jack Mathews
Poor Jennifer Lopez. Despite star billing, she is but a spectator at Fonda's fireworks show.
Minneapolis Star Tribune
Jeff Strickler
It's a one-joke movie, but we keep laughing because of the way the stars keep telling the joke.
Premiere Magazine
Peter Debruge
Without movie stars in the lead roles, these characters would be insufferably dull (in other words, they'd all be as vanilla as Vartan), and director Robert Luketic knows it.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
The phrase 'chewing the scenery' never made much sense to me (is this a phrase used in normal human conversation? Ever?), but I know it when I see it. And Jane Fonda gnaws it to the bone in Monster-in-Law.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Fluff has it's place, and it's awfully good to see feel-the-burn Jane back in action, unrepentant and laughing at herself and the world.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
Had the script paid more attention to its characters' emotional details, this Monster could have been a ball.
CNN.com
Paul Clinton (CNN.com)
Monster-in-Law, is only saved -- by the skin of its teeth -- by co-stars, Jane Fonda and Wanda Sykes.
Boston Globe
Wesley Morris
Monster-in-Law has a hard enough time justifying its antagonist's monstrosity.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Monster-in-Law is first and foremost a triumphant comeback for Fonda, whose acting chops complement a presence that puts most of today's stars to shame.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
Yet another decently made but utterly forgettable comedy.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
To boost this movie's rating to 'worth seeing' would make me feel like a publicist or simply a dope.
San Jose Mercury News
Bruce Newman
It repeatedly falls to Fonda to sell the movie's wheezy concept of the mother-in-law as battle-ax. And like any trouper attempting go-for-broke comedy for the first time at her age, she holds nothing back.
