As an esteemed television journalist put out to pasture by the networks and faced with the engagement of her son, Jane Fonda is fierce, funny, and ready to rumble as the title character in Monster-in-Law in a way that the rest of the film itself never really is. Jennifer Lopez, the film’s other above-the-title star, is set to marry handsome, wealthy Michael Vartan but has one helluva time dealing with his insanely possessive mother. The result is pretty much what you’d expect–lots of snarls and slapstick and an easy, kisses-all-around conclusion, though it is surprising (and maybe a little disheartening) to watch Fonda throw herself into such

Knight and Day (Three-Disc Blu-ray/DVD Combo+ Digital Copy)
Big screen superstars Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz come together in this fun, action-packed thrill-ride that will keep you on the edge of your seat. When a small-town girl named June (Diaz) meets a mysterious stranger, she thinks she’s found the man of her dreams. But she soon discovers he’s a fugitive super-spy, who thrusts her into a thrilling cat-and-mouse chase that spans the globe. As the bullets and sparks fly, June must decide if her “Knight” in shining armor is a dangerous traitor or the love of her life. Knight and Day has action by the boatload, cheeky wit, unexpected double-crossing, sexual tension, and the blinding smile of its star, Tom Cruise. In short, what more could you ask of a rollicking good-time movie? Knight and Day, which also stars the irresistible Cameron Diaz as Cruise’s superspy’s ultimate foil, channels the best elements of earlier films like Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Mission: Impossible, the Bourne films, and even a little of Duplicity’s sophistication.

Good Times! Fun Stuff!,
My wife and I got a free ticket to attend one of three movies–”Predators,” “Knight And Day,” or “A-Team.” It was a no-brainer. I’ll wait for the other two to come to DVD to partake in them. My wife was fairly adamant about wanting to go and see “Knight And Day” right from the gate when the trailers were appearing here and there in different venues–internet, TV, DVD releases, what-have-you. It looked to be a ton of fun, and, boy, was it ever! There was so much wondering about what was really taking place as opposed to what was seen on the surface that it would be a bit difficult to explain it all here. Let’s just say that Tom’s character, Roy Miller, may have been a good guy or a bad guy throughout the movie, we just simply don’t know, which adds to the suspense…ten-fold. His personality says he isn’t, but his actions say otherwise. All in all, through all the guessing and wondering what was truly going on, there was a bit of well-placed humor and an exceptional chemistry between Cameron and Tom. They were having a ton of fun in the making of this movie, and it showed. My wife made note that the trailers didn’t show every bit of the good stuff, leaving nothing for the movie-going experience. That was completely true. This is not a movie for all the tight-a**, boring, nepotistic critics out there. This one is for a great time out on a weekend and a soon-to-be great time on adult movie-night at home. One more note: Mid to late teens would be fine with the subject matter of “Knight And Day” as well. LOTS O’ FUN!!!

|If you’re not a boring critic, you’ll enjoy this!,
Knight & Day is about a rogue agent (Tom Cruise) that hides a powerful battery in a normal woman named June’s (Cameron Diaz) carry on case at an airport. He thought that would be it and he’d never see her again, but he finds himself having to protect her from the people he used to work with.
The movie is just fun and it may be silly that Cruise and Diaz talk casually during shoot-outs but that’s one of the things I enjoyed about the movie. The movie isn’t meant to be taken seriously, just sit back and enjoy all the entertaining non-sense. Out of a so far lackluster summer season, Knight & Day is one of the better summer movies. Don’t listen to the idiots on At the Movies, this is a fun flick and I highly doubt the Killers is a better movie like they said!

|Slapstick Return for Jane Fonda,
This movie isn’t as bad as a lot of reviewers make it out to be. In a sea of unrelenting bad box office movies, this film at least keeps it’s head above water. For Jennifer Lopez fans, there is enough sweetness factor to keep them happy. The plot is familiar and formulamatic, yet light and often funny. Charlie (Lopez) has lead a life of many part time jobs and is getting along just fine till she has a chance meeting with Dr. Kevin Fields (played a bit woodenly by Alias’ Michael Vartan)and falls in love. Things couldn’t be better until Kevin arranges for Charlie to meet his mother, Viola Fields (Fonda)a talk show host put out to pasture by her network and recently released after a break down from a hospital who has nothing left in life but making her son’s prespective dates miserable. Kevin chooses to ask Charlie to marry him in front tof his mother and the hijinks begin. Viola has other plans and is hell bent to break them up. But as misery loves company, Charlie decides to fight back. Throw in Wanda Sykes as Viola’s personal assistant who wants no part in this struggle and this makes for some very comical moments. Sykes is great in her small role but really chews on the scenery and makes the most of a role written far to small for this large comedic talent. The movie is largely entertaining but you may want to rent it before actually making the purchase. Worth a viewing at least.
