Still, when Lopez isn’t in the way, both Sykes and Fonda garner tons of laughs as they carry out a personalized demolition derby on poor hapless Charlotte. With the help of her wisecracking assistant Ruby (Wanda Sykes), the pair form a wild comedic duo of bad natured punishers. Long past the realm of sanity, the vicious Viola plots to destroy Charlotte and break up their impending nuptials, with her son none the wiser.
Things only get worse when her forgettably handsome son announces his and Charlotte’s engagement. Recently released from the looney bin, where she was imprisoned for attempting to strangle a Britney Spears clone in mid-interview, Viola is none to pleased with her son’s choice in girlfriends. Things pick up a bit when we find out that her doctor boyfriend has a mother named Viola, played by Jane Fonda. Vartan and Lopez have absolutely zero chemistry, and it’s a blessing that once Monster stops dragging around at manufacturing their romance that the two are less frequently together.

It doesn’t help that the movie wastes so much time setting up a relationship between her and Michael Vartan, the film’s pretty boy love interest. It’s one of the worst performances of this year and Lopez, who’s proven she can do better, should be called to task for it. Lopez plays her as if she’s some sort of floppy, valley-girl Muppet a 5 year old trapped in the body of a 36 year old. The over-exposed diva headlines the film as Charlotte, a brain dead, super cute gal who falls hopelessly in love with a doctor.
