Today, it was Marianne's turn to choose movie. The Jennifer Lopez vehicle Maid in Manhattan is no more direly predictable than other chick-flick comedies we've seen ... but left the nagging feeling it has serious pretensions. A worlds-apart plot pitting Ralph Fiennes as green-minded playboy-cum-Senate candidate against Lopez as single mum with a message was not a memorable combination. (Bob Hoskins as avuncular butler pleasantly surprised me, since I've not seen him since Roger Rabbit and the unforgettable Pennies from Heaven, a mere quarter of a century ago.) Still, 4/10. It's relaxing to leave your brain at the door.
