positive · AI labelView post →A Woman Under the Influence has gotta be the best Mother’s Day movie and it’s not even close but here are some other Dunson-certified selections for those who want to recognize the day with cinema: Night of the Hunter 28 Years Later Monster-in-Law Mary Poppins ET / AI / The Fabelmans
neutral · AI labelView post →Monster In Law is J.Lo's best movie & idc what anyone says.
positive · AI labelView post →FOLKS! For Ep16, @boxofficegross.bsky.social returns to the world of unhinged, justly forgotten rom-coms as we go grab @lecinenerd.bsky.social to go DEEP, deeper than deep, AS DEEP AS LEGALLY ALLOWED, longer than the film itself, in fact, on the nightmarishly bad MONSTER-IN-LAW

neutral · AI labelView post →We finished watching Terminator: Dark Fate and put some rubbish on while winding down to go to bed... When this happened. The film is Monster-in-Law, with JLo, Adam Scott, Will Arnett, and the legend that is Jane Fonda. We weren't expecting high brow, but we also didn't expect this.
negative · AI labelView post →Monster-In-Law-2005 This movie is one of my Mom’s favorites which ended up becoming my favorite. We always watched it together and laughed along. They don’t make’em like this anymore
positive · AI labelView post →The last movie she did before Monster-In-Law I believe, her swan song except it wasn’t
neutral · AI labelView post →Drop a film you saw on a first date. Monster In-Law. An absolute disaster where she got up and left partway through, because I wasn't talking to her enough during the film
negative · AI labelView post →Monster In Law was a good ass movie.
positive · AI labelView post →My comfort movies would be The Wood. Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins. Pretty Woman. The Devil Wears Prada. Couples Retreat. Friday After Next. Any Bad Boys movie. Kingdom Come. Monster In Law. Barbershop 1&2. Beauty Shop. The Best Man.
neutral · AI labelView post →I’m watching Monster In Law. Older movie, but one of my favs. J Lo and Jane Fonda. Always lifts my mood.
positive · AI labelView post →J-Lo and Streisand have done plenty of movie poptimism. On the good side Maid In Manhattan and What's Up Doc, to the bad l: Monster-In-Law and Meet The Fuckers.
negative · AI labelView post →Disgraceful Despicable Disrespectful Like Wanda Sykes said in the movie, Monster in Law, "I am sick. I am sick, sick, sick of your s***. And when I’m not sick, i'm tired. I am sick and tired." Simply vile & evil
neutral · AI labelView post →Not particularly a J-Lo fan, but I do think Monster-in-Law is a very funny movie!
positive · AI labelView post →Bro I’m watching JLo in Monster in Law and she actually seems charming. Oscar worthy nah but a timelessly good movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →It has been on my list as a popular known movie. I had a few like MBFGW and Monster in Law. Weirdly Love Actually isn't streaming on any service we have.
neutral · AI labelView post →One of my best birthdays ever was when my bestie who was a new mom and never got “girlfriend time” had a diner dinner with me followed by MONSTER IN LAW. A ridiculous movie and I loved it.
positive · AI labelView post →It's not the worst movie ever of course but Jane Fonda in Monster in Law. That movie wouldn't have reached the caliber it did, of really enjoyable kinda bad movie without her. Period.
positive · AI labelView post →And it's 100% because Luke/Tracy started a few months after the JLo movie Monster-in-Law came out lol
neutral · AI labelView post →You beat me, I am undone by playing into obscurity. And thinking Monster in Law is a three word title, which apparently it isn’t. Not sure how many words it actually has.

positive · AI labelView post →7. Favourite movie list is crazy because it depends on the mood but to name a few: First Wives Club, Pearl, Matilda, Your Name(Anime), Hercules, Hocus Pocus, Godzilla King of Monsters, Scream, Halloween, Alien, Beaches, The Heat, Digimon The Movie, Rugrats in Paris, Monster-In-Law, 9 to 5, etc
neutral · AI labelView post →She was so fiesty. She had a very small role at the end of "Monster-in-Law", an old Jennifer Lopez movie with Jane Fonda.
neutral · AI labelView post →J Lo can stay in the movie studio. Monster In Law is a cinematic masterpiece
positive · AI labelView post →Oh wait! Hold up! That movie actually came out 3 days after my birthday! The day OF my birthday was Monster-in-Law
neutral · AI labelView post →RIGHT?? The movie Monster-In-Law has SO many good quotes as does Death At A Funeral & all of the Friday & BarberShop movies. I LOVE the scene in M-I-L when Wanda Sykes character says, "I'll go get the vodka," to Jane Fondas character!! DAAF, Tracie Morgan asks Chris Rock "What are going to do?" ➡️
neutral · AI labelView post →Continuing my so good they are excellent movie binge. Monster In Law was an excellent romantic comedy choice (Thanks for the heads up on that one Sara). Yesterday I watched Anaconda (2025) which was an excellent action comedy. Today is The Beekeeper. So far so absolutely bonkers.

positive · AI labelView post →Also I think this movie and Monster in Law added to the "big booty" propaganda because if you look at the rest of the rom com girls from this era, in comparison, J. Lo shit was colossal.
neutral · AI labelView post →Few movie characters are as homophobic as whatever the fuck the caricature is that Adam Scott played in Monster-in-Law. The person who wrote that, and also casted him, should be shot.
negative · AI labelView post →Love “Monster In Law”…think that’s this movie
positive · AI labelView post →Decided to watch Monster In Law randomly at 2am because Jane Fonda is hilarious in this movie.

neutral · AI labelView post →ON the flight to Vegas, they had TV screens, and you could buy headphones to listen to the sound; the film was Monster-in-Law with the awful Jennifer Lopez. There was nothing else to do, other than to look at it; it was bad enough without the sound.

neutral · AI labelView post →FWIW when Monster-in-Law came out in 2002, the movie theatre in rural Indiana - the nearest one where my grandma's family is from in rural Kentucky - would not show it because people hated Jane Fonda because of her Vietnam War activities.
neutral · AI labelView post →The nail salon is where I watch all sorts of dreadful movies. Today’s Monster in Law ranked right up there except hot damn Jane Fonda is a fucking delight no matter what terrible movie they cram her into.
