What Parents Need to Know
About Monster-In-Law
Parents need to know that this film includes some loud displays of drunkenness and physical violence, framed as comedy (including Jane Fonda slamming Jennifer Lopez's head onto a table). Though the tone is mostly light, the jokes become repetitive: Fonda and Lopez spar while vapid son/fiancé Michael Vartan stands by (or at one point actually disappears for a medical convention, being a doctor). Characters drink, smoke, and make snide remarks to and about one another.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the jealousy and silly fighting between the two primary women. Why do women (in movies) compete over a man's attention? How does the movie make their insecurities into jokes? How might the mother and son develop better communication?

Funny
I'm not into romance at all, but this movie was very good. Not sappy or mushy. There is no sex, but there are some references. But this movie it ok for 13 and up.

So funny
This is one of the funniest movie I have seen all year. Everyone I have talked to about this movie does not see what it is about it I find so funny, but I loved it. I saw it twice in the theaters, because I enjoyed it so much the first time through. True, if you are looking for a movie with a good message or something inspiring, this is not the best choice. If you are just looking to see a good, funny movie, this would be a good choice.

so funny. but what was Jane thinking?
Love Jane fonda. And it made me giggle and even slap a thigh or two. A great time waster but you could do worse. dont bring your little ones. I did go with a 15 yr old girl who also laughed out loud at inappropriate humor. younger than that...i don't think so.

pretty much what you would suspect
A chick-flick deffinetly but not a very good one. An Ok renter but don't waste money seeing it in theaters. Not for small children. 13 and up.
