      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      While Jane Fonda steals the movie in her return to the screen, a tired script and flimsy performances make this borderline comedy fall flat.

      David Ansen Newsweek The premise, though hardly fresh, has the makings of a ferocious black comedy. But Monster-in-Law is more a sour pastel. Nov 1, 2007 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 2/5 Apr 1, 2006 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle A banal and lukewarm slice of romantic comedy and family histrionics. Rated: 1.5/5 May 21, 2005 Full Review Micheal Compton Bowling Green Daily News If you are looking for a film with depth and character development, Monster-In-Law is probably not the film for you. Still, I couldnt help but enjoy most of the slapstick situations. Rated: B- Nov 18, 2019 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Despite its shortcomings (not the least of which is [Jennifer] Lopez), Monster-in-Law is the first must-see film of the spring and summer thanks to Jane Fonda's Viola. Nov 13, 2019 Full Review Joshua Starnes ComingSoon.net Fonda is terrific playing the mess that is Viola. Her introduction tells you everything you need to know about her: after learning she has been fired she attacks a vacuous Britney Spears clone on air. It never reaches that kind of mean-spirited fun again. Rated: 5/10 Apr 8, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews
