Maid in Manhattan Reviews
A christmas carol for the yule season
Incredible fairy tale but after all why not. In this world of ours everything is possible even flying to the moon. And there we do fly to the moon, or are flown to the moon. And it works and is pleasant for two main reasons. First this maid who is playing Cinderella revisited is able to say a few nice truths to this biggy future would-be senator, like the fact that he would never have noticed her if she had been a plain maid. And also because her son is the sentimental, even sentimentalese naive argument that makes the sauce set, and set it does and set it will. So enjoy the fairy tale even if today's world is not that pleasant all the time, and New York City that clean and that safe. After all it is nothing but, and that's something indeed, a Christmas fairy tale, a Christmas carol of sort, the best fairy tales in the world.

Class Cross-Over on Love Tube: "I'm Comiiiinnng"
The theme that thrills me most is the class emphasis of the film. True love breaks the class barrier cheaply, this has been severally proved in real life to be an age-old truth. Possibilities became reality.
Marissa Ventura (J.Lo) was the voice of the voiceless poor that the film gave a giant microphone to. Yes and True! Fate brought them (Ventura and Chris Mashall) together, but the cord of principled truth could not be broken by the wishes and schemes of a society programmed to divide the poor from the rich.
If only for the unblemished truth of pricipled and positive sel-worth that the film preaches. I vote for it in this review. It teaches: Never, never, to denigrate your self-worth, even when you have been programmed by the accident of birth into a class that "hews wood and fetches water" for the rich. Your break would certainly come, if you faint not!
The reason why the film was an instant success is because it spoke for the millions of single-parents, in North America, who had to "work-it-out" in sweat to sustain and patch up the remnant of emotion, product of unfulfilled dreams. It gave them hope to dream again. Rekindled dreams, they shall have, if they watch this film.
To the millions of defeated and poor laborers who dare to dream again, I ask you this question: are you coming up? you can say yes with either buying or watching this film!
