Did you see "Monster-in-Law" this week or do you plan to see it?

[Radio_Lady]

I liked the movie, but many did not. What about you?

I wonder if it could be a backlash against Jane Fonda for her "indiscretions" about the Vietnam War. Just my theory...

The film earned $24 million in its first weekend (May 13-14-15). It was the top grossing movie last weekend.

1. Jennifer Lopez makes me sick.

So no.

[Radio_Lady]

4. OK, thanks. Is it her acting or her lifestyle or?? -- I'm curious.

I've heard this before from others. I saw "The Wedding Planner" and "Maid in Manhattan" -- didn't find her particularly offensive in those.

[dhinojosa]

16. Maybe all the rocks that she's got. :) nt

[jilln]

20. Both, but mostly...

it's her "designer clothes" with lots of fur. Fur is so cruel and unnecessary and she refuses to stop using it because apparently she thinks the trashy caveman look defines her. Who knows how many animals will be tortured and killed so she can make a buck and feel like a star?

[WI_DEM]

2. I hear that Jane Fonda is the best thing in the film

word of mouth not so great about JLO.

[Radio_Lady]

I believe that's true. Fonda just lets out all the stops -- amazing!

[smbolisnch]

3. I thought it looked really cute, but I won't go see it.

I cannot stand JLo and have no desire to support her fur habit. :puke:

[Radio_Lady]

5. OK. Where did she wear the fur? Did PETA protest her use of fur?

[smbolisnch]

7. She wears fur everywhere.

She designs clothing using fur etc. I believe PETA has protested against her, yes.

[tjdee]

8. In her line of clothing.

During her "JLO Fashion Show", apparently one of the models had fur on?? Don't really remember.

[Radio_Lady]

25. She shouldn't do that. So many people are against wearing fur now,

but I always wonder, why do so many people who are against fur -- approve of leather -- for shoes, coats, jackets, gloves, etc.

Frankly, I don't wear either, but not for the same reasons. All of those materials are just too warm for me. I had a leather jacket for about 20 years in Boston, and didn't even wear it there. Now that we're in Portland, it never gets cold enough for me to wear more than a raincoat.

[tjdee]

6. Tough question. While I'd be interested in seeing Jane after a billion

years....do I want to watch Jenny Lopez for a while....

I have this disturbing feeling that every romcom Jenny does was written for Julia Roberts or Sandra Bullock. It bothers me.

I liked The Wedding Planner in spite of that (but Sandra Bullock has much more chemistry with Mattie McConaughey)....didn't like "Maid in Manhattan" (which I watched because I *love* Ralph Fiennes, unnaturally like).

Dunno. Will watch it when it comes on Starz or whatever, LOL!

[Radio_Lady]

10. The user ratings of this movie are kind of fascinating.

You can see them at:

http://www.us.imdb.com/title/tt0369735/ratings

Right now, more than 150 people have given it a 10 out of 10.

Almost the same number have given it a 1 out of 10.

Many fewer people are in the middle.

This movie looks like You Either Love it or Hate it...

[radwriter0555]

9. My daughter is in that movie! She's in the wedding scene at the

end, waving.

We still haven't seen it yet... LOL!

[Radio_Lady]

11. Oh, radwriter0555, that's fun --

Is she in the Screen Extras Guild -- or just hired straightaway for the film from an open casting call? Does she do this often?

[radwriter0555]

12. We're friends with the producer and her daughter and the mom was kind

enough to ask Liv to keep her kid company and be in the film while they re-shot the final scene.

In the original script, there was no wedding but that "didn't sell well in Omaha," as they say, so they re-shot the ending in February.

I got to meet the venerable Ms. Fonda on the set... it was quite a moment for me, let me tell you!

Liv got to meet all, including La Lopez and that cute hunky guy.

[BlueJazz]

13. I took a date to see it Sunday...After 30 minutes she..

..turned to me and said "do you like this movie"
I said "I think it's horrible"
She said "Let's go"

We went.

[MrSlayer]

14. Since you asked, No and No.

Not my type of movie.

[Radio_Lady]

17. You might like "Cinderella Man" better -- with Russell Crowe --

opening in June 3rd. Here's an early review!

[MrSlayer]

19. Thanks.

That more my speed. Russell Crowe is great.

[joeybee12]

15. That'll be on DVD--as much as I like Jane, J-lo is so talentless I can't

see her in a theatre--gotta be on dvd so i can fast-forward when she's on the screen!

[NightNurse]

18. So Did We:Me, Gallerygod & my brother went on Friday.

We liked it.

Thought Wanda Sykes stole the show, though:rofl: :rofl:

[Radio_Lady]

22. Yeah, I thought Wanda was terrific, too! Old-timer Elaine Stritch --

who played Jane Fonda's mother, did a great cameo. You probably don't remember her, but I do.

[RebelOne]

21. I watched the trailer and Jane Fonda is absolutely hilarious.

But I'll wait for the DVD. I already have it reserved at NetFlix.

[Radio_Lady]

23. NetFlix -- works for me. The movie will probably be released just a few -

months from now. I'm sure you won't have to wait long.

[Shell Beau]

24. I try to avoid J-Lo if at all possible!

:puke:

[Radio_Lady]

26. Jennifer Lopez has (helped) bring in lots of money from her movies!
