 Monster-in-Law Production NotesShe met the perfect man. Then she met his mother.
Unlucky in love, beautiful Charlotte ‘Charlie’ Cantilini (Jennifer Lopez) has finally met the man of her dreams, Dr. Kevin Fields (Michael Vartan). There’s just one problem - his mother! Overbearing and controlling, not to mention volatile, Viola Fields (Jane Fonda) has recently been canned from her job as a star news anchor.
Fearing she will lose her son’s affections as she has her career, Viola decides to break up the happy couple by becoming the world’s worst mother-in-law. Helping her with her crazy schemes is Viola’s long-time assistant, Ruby (Wanda Sykes).
The gloves come off when Charlie finally decides to fight back and it looks like Viola has finally met her match. Scheduled for a mid-summer 2005 release, Monster-in-Law is directed by Legally Blonde’s Robert Luketic and marks Fonda’s return to the big screen after a 14-year absence.
In-laws... Friend or foe? Extended family or extended enmity? Lifelong benefactor or life-threatening antagonist? Beloved or bedeviled . . . well, you get the point. It’s a universal given that no one is more feared or placated than the insufferable few that earn the dreaded moniker “Monster-in-Law.”
New Line Cinema presents a Robert Luketic film, Monster-in-Law, a comedy starring Jennifer Lopez, Jane Fonda, Michael Vartan and Wanda Sykes. The film is a Benderspink and Spring Creek production.
After years of looking for Mr. Right, Charlotte ‘Charlie’ Cantilini (Lopez) finally finds the man of her dreams, Kevin Fields (Vartan), only to discover that his mother, Viola (Fonda), is the woman of her nightmares. A recently fired national news anchor who is afraid she will lose her son the way she has just lost her career, Viola determines to scare off her son’s new fiancé by becoming the world’s worst mother-in-law. While Viola’s long-time assistant Ruby (Sykes) does her best to help Viola execute her crazy schemes, Charlie decides to fight back and the gloves come off as the two women battle it out to see just who is the alpha-female.
