Maid in Manhattan
- Rating:
- Director: Wayne Wang
- Starring: Jennifer Lopez
- Details: US / 105 mins / (12PG).
Urbane and eligible bachelor Fiennes meets unmarried mother and hotel maid Lopez in a re-working of Pretty Woman, but there is precious little electricity between the two leads; Fiennes is in suitably over-the-top form, but the best lines go to Richardson as the frustrated rich-bitch socialite.
