A must...this is one of my favorite comedies. Ms. Fonda is astounding and her wardrobe, OMG, yesss! I have always loved Wanda; the four stars worked very well together! I truly adored this movie and can watch it over and over for lots of laughter - I seem to catch something new :-)

Great job!!

4/5 Movie was better then expected
  by Jena Brazda (Rohnert Park, Ca)
I thought this movie was wonderful, I don't know why people did not like it. I thought it was romantic, funny, and a little bit of dark humor. I did not know what I would get going into the movie because people did not rate it the best. I would reccomend this movie to many people. I guess it is all in what you like, just don't go into the movie expecting what people just say and judge it your self I think people will be impressed.

3/5 Fun farce.
  by Jerry Saperstein (Evanston, IL USA)
I don't like Jane Fonda because of her political views. However, there is no doubt that she is a talented actress and in this lightweight farce, she pretty much is the show.

Fonda, an aging Barbara Walters TV personality type, is set out to pasture for being too old - and too crazy. Her sendup of a vapid talking head interviewing an even more vapid Britney Spears kind of pop tart is absolutely hilarious.

Fonda's son, Michael Vartan has found the girl of his dreams, played by Jennifer Lopez. Both Vartan and Lopez both get billing over Fonda, but their performances are lightweight.

Fonda, as the potential mother-in-law doesn't want her son to marry and sets out to derail the marriage.

Her attempts are hilarious and much of the script focuses on good comedy and not a little slapstick. Wanda Syke's plays Fonda's long suffering assistant. She's good, but the character isn't all that believable. Of course, that is true for all the characters.

Anyway, Fonda and Lopez engage in an all-out war and get a lot of laughs in the process.

This movie is strictly for fun. It has no message. Just lean back, munch some popcorn and enjoy, particularly Fonda's performance.

4/5 Hilarious Romantic Comedy
  by Richard W. T. Bate (Australia)
Just hilarious, from start to finish. Loved Jane Fonda and her assistant it was like a comedy from the 60's Compare "Barefoot in the Park". The face plant was just so excellent.
