The plot is less the porn quality. Are American women so stupid that they need to pay $10 for these retarded fairy tales in an effort to give meaning to their lives? Perhaps they all want to see if their ass is bigger than JLo's.
shareUnfortunately, there are a lot of stupid people who will waste their hard earned money to see Jennifer Lopez's stupid movies. Ironically, the people who waste their money on this garbage are the ones who can least afford to spend so much cash. To make matters worse, they are the same idiots who will buy "Maid in Manhatten" when it's released on DVD. But not to worry, "Maid"'s success is short lived. Today is Monday, December 16, which means the "Lord of the Rings" contingents will be out in full force this December 18. Why else would they have chosen to release Lopez's crappy film now? "Angel Eyes" was annihilated by "Shrek," while "Enough" fell before the "Star Wars Episode II" onslaught. Jennifer Lopez fans, enjoy your brief victory. The "Two Towers" is now in the horizon.
P.S. Contrary to the tone of my writing, I am not a "Lord of the Rings" fan. Still, like everyone else on this planet, I know that "Two Towers" is going to wipe everything else out.
Yes, I agree. But Will Smith was a decent actor in Ali. I think a woman would go see this movie because of Ralph Fiennes.

By any chance, would you know what was the #1 movie at the box office this past weekend? It wasn't "Maid In Manhatten." Moreover, I wasn't comparing "The Two Towers" to "Maid." I simply said what everyone knew: that "Two Towers" was going to knock "Maid" out of the #1 slot. Even Bullock's movie came in at #2.
shareI have not seen this movie and I dont plan on seeing it; all I have to say is that I think Jennifer L is a very attractive and sexy lady!!I have not seen many of her movies,but I wish her success. As for Will Smth, well, he is OK ,I guess ,but I dont like those MIB movies,they are a rip[-off!Will,if u can here me,start making some quality movies,even if its just about you and jada!!

You know in Hollywood they don't even call them films or movies anymore, they call them products. That's got to tell you something.

So is you spelling...
shareso is "you"'s, haha!!!
yes this movie was stupid, but how dare you make a comment like that. Americans=stupid????? no YOU are stupid. i don't know what country you are from, but no, Americans are not stupid just because we happen to be the MOVIE CAPITAL OF THE WORLD!! the MEDIA is what turns talentless people in to celebrities, not America. so it could just as easily happen in your country or wherever you're from. i don't know if you wrote that out of spite or jealousy that you aren't fortunate enough to live in america, but next time why don't you think beforehand because where i live you would get your ass kicked.
Actually India's movie industry is bigger than America's. And the media is run by lots of people including Americans.
shareyou can insult j.lo, and will smith, but don't insult a whole damn country just for two people! and personally i think the movie was money well spent. it did'nt have the hocus garbage some movies have! and the sad thing is half those movies win oscars..like that lame ass movie, american beauty! Ralph Fiennes was the reason i saw this anyhow!
shareWell, it doesn't show alot of intelligence to make generalizations based off of Hollywood's deceptions, but whatever. Where did you hear that India has a bigger industry than America? If that were the case, wouldn't more movie stars move there? It seems that only in America that an actor can make 20 million dollars a picture. That's why Europeans flock here. Not cuz they love America, but because they know they can get more dough here. If we Americans are so dumb, then DON'T COME HERE.
shareThis is just so fun, typical american attitude. You actually think you are so much better then the rest of the world. Take a min and think about what you are writing. And yes they do produce more movies in India than America..
sharelol. War of the races!!! Americans did you know, contrary to your beliefs, you are the most hated race in the world? And you also produce truckloads of stupid films that insult the rest of the worlds intelligence. Having said that I must admit that occasionally you produce brilliant films, ie like 85% on the Top-250 are american productions.
shareCool. I didn't know that being Amercian made me a "race". If we insult you with our "stupid films" why do you buy them? Here in American we have something called supply and demand. Maybe it's a new concept to you? Where are you from?
shareI swear BOLLYWOOD is waaaaaaaaaaaay bigger than hollywood?? Anyway its unfair to say all Americans are dumb lyk u've met every single one sure there are few dumb ones lyk u'r frikkin President Bush and theres obviously the dumbass people that continue to vote for him but not all Americans can be lumped together. And though the film and T.V industry spews out crap lyk the same rom com stereotypical stuff dont forget they also gave u great shows lyk Supernatural, Buffy and many great films too.
shareNo, um actually, India doesn't. Look at boxofficemojo.com and go the top movies all time. From these statistics a film makes about a 3rd of its income from the U.S. Titanic has 1.835 billion worldwide, and in the U.S it made 600 million. Almost a 3rd exactly. Now look at Phantom Menace, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park, LOTR: The Two Towers, and LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring. All of them made a 3rd or more of their income from the U.S. The U.S. definitely has the biggest market. Indonesia is up there, but not quite as high as the U.S.
I would have gone with you to the end. Right into the very fires of Mordor.
I don't know about the "Americans" part...But I do share the same opinion on Jenifer Lopez lack of talent in movies and music. I walked out of the movie after 10 minutes to go see Star Trek Generations instead. I was only there to wait while Star Trek started on the next theater. This woman is as overrated as they come. I just don't see what people find attractive in Jenifer Lopez who uses men and marriages to be the focal point of the media. I used to have somewhat respect for Ben Affleck but after letting himself fall in the arms of the Black Widow, I have lost all respect for him.
I cant stand her annoying high pitch voices, her music, her acting or her attempt to portray herself as a typical girl from the Brox. As far as peopple saying she is a beautiful woman, I just don't see it. Being hispanic I don't see the exotic side that Caucasians see in her. I can think easily of hundreds of by far more good looking, smarter and more talented women than this black widow, and they are not evewn in show business. This J-lo is Hollywoods latest attempt at using that woman's popularity to cash in on it.

Good Point!
shareI'm amazed at the *beep* that's thrown at us. First of all Will Smith was accepted to M.I.T. even before we knew who he was; which only goes to show the range of this man. J LO was an established coreographer before anything else. Some of her video productions include Janet Jackson's "that's the way love goes" video. All this shows the beauty and acceptance for diversity in the great old U.S. of A.
shareNT
shareThe problem with americans is that they can't see the difference between USA and the World.
When an american goes to a country with some history - for example, any european country - he finds out that American history is really short.
The baseball final are called "World Series" ... and they loose against Cuba in the Olympics.
They're president is the just a big bad cowboy and has no sensibity when dealing with international problems. They think they have the right to brake up contracts - kyoto - but enforce they're laws in every country in the world.
The problem is that this is the reflex of the average american guy - He believes USA is the center of the World only because he doesn't know anything else besides his country.
The same happens with cinema. Probably 95% of American cinema is trash and people discuss movies like Maid in Manhattan and say "it's quite good". wft ?
They say Jennifer Lopez is a good actress ... I could enumerate 100 better actresses than her, only in the US. She's a good singer ... not. Beautifull, maybe, that's a personal option.
About Will Smith, he's not a good actor but he's quite humorous.
OPEN YOUR EYES. STOP BEING ARROGANT.
i don't live in America but what you're saying is far from true in my opinion.America does have some history actually.And you can't speak for everyone there so you don't even know what you're saying.I think jennifer Lopez can sing and act i don't like her much but still I think she has talent,And also, i think will smith is a great actor.
So why don't you STOP BEING ARROGANT
First of all stop using epithets that generalize entire countries...it's always the same, europeans thinking americans are "stupid" "self absorbed" "arrogant" ok??????? unless you personally know every american, you have no right to make such broad assumptions, because that is not true at all, we are nice =). i don't have a problem with you making fun of our president, we do it too. yes he is an incredibly s-l-o-w, stupid, hillbilly. anyway americans have no problem with europeans so why do you have such a problem with us??? i think europeans are cool and have cool accents, plus aren't our countries supposed to be friends??!?!! i say we should all be friends and get along, ok...WORLD PEACE
and you better watch what you say because our country is 10 times bigger than yours and we have much better nuclear capabilities. < calm down, im joking =) >
back to the topic of the movie, i think 2 weeks notice was better, but thats just my opinion. maybe im biased because i went to the same highschool as sandra
bullock
Well, since this was one of my first posts I was trying to begin a little flame to feel how ppl are.
I generalized, you're right, but know I'll talk seriouslly.
I don't have anything against americans, there are bad ones and good ones, just like europeans, africans, asians, etc. I might not agree with america's foreign policy and what happens is that non-americans transpose they're feeling about US policy to it's ppl.
Afterall, US - and Japan, a few more asian and european countries - contribute to the technology and confort everybody loves.
About the size of the country, you're probably 25 times bigger than us ... but fortunatelly we're allies.
Stay cool
PS: Sorry if I insulted, prob was a stupid post (See, I've redeemed myself, now you can't give me The Bomb :PP)
hey,
i'm from europe...well actually when i talk to an american he doesn't know where i live...he starts to mess up geography and sends germany in russia, or polland as a neighbour of greece...and that pisses me off! but don't get me wrong...i have many american friends and they're all right! i am far from the truth if i say EVERY american is like this or like that...i'm generalizing...but there is some truth in that, isn't it!
i just don't like if somebody thinks he's better than me judging only by the place where i live!!! i don't like when somebody is insulting me, telling me that i'm stupid in a disasterous english, when mine is better, although it is my second language...and in these cases i don't care if the man is american, or english, or german, or whatever...
everybody just wants to be treated right...right? :)))
and right now i remember a song..."why can't we be friends"
peace, everybody!
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every moment of it!
*** "I LIKE TO F#CK BUT I CAN SHOW YOU MY AFFECTION" ***
Okay, I guess you're entitled to your opinion of Americans, but I have to burst you bubble. I am an American. I know that America isn't the center of the world. I know that we have a short history compared to many other countries. I don't get how you can lump every single American together with just a few (Bush being one). Yes, I will agree that some Americans are way too proud of their heritage, but not all of us are idiots. There are idiots in every country, I might add. What I'm saying is this--You can't go around with the assumption that every American is the same. We're not. We're not brainwashed from birth, you know. Have you ever been to the U.S.? If not, then you can't exactly back up your comments, can you? If so, then I'm sorry you went away with such a poor opinion of this country. As for American cinema--Yes, there are many, many crappy movies made here. I haven't seen "Maid in Manhattan" myself, and I plan not to watch it--ever. There also happen to be a great many inspiring, intelligent and, well, good movies made here. Everyone has different tastes as to what is good and what isn't. I agree with you that Jennifer Lopez isn't a good actress, she's not even very good at singing, but someone actually thinks she is or she wouldn't have a career, would she? Plus, many of her fans come from different countries, so don't put the blame all on us. I just want you to think about what you said. Not all Americans are self-centered. I'm actually pretty curious about the world outside of this country. Don't put us all in the same category. It's not right.

In General, and i am an american, Hollywood feelis that an audience cannot think for over mayve ten minutes let alone an hour and a half. Apparently the movie going public is only smart enough for this drivel. How abut more Donnie Darko like movies than stuff made just for people who don't ever miss an episdoe of "Friends".
shareMmm, finally somebody with real good taste! I am absolutely crazy about Donnie Darko. Ralph Fiennes had some dark roles before, but I would actually like to see him in a dark movie! That would be something new to try out.
