In Revolution
Studios' charming romantic comedy Maid in Manhattan, Jennifer Lopez
stars as a hard-working, intelligent and determined single mother
who dreams of a better life. While struggling as a housekeeper at
Manhattan's first-class Beresford Hotel, she falls for a rising politician,
who mistakenly assumes she's a socialite guest at the hotel.
Will a hotel
worker from the Bronx and a well-heeled gentleman from midtown Manhattan
risk it all for a chance at romance?
Marisa Ventura
has made a good life for herself and her ten-year-old son, Ty (Tyler
Garcia Posey), even if they don't have a lot of money. One Saturday
morning Marisa brings Ty to the Beresford. She asks a co-worker to
keep an eye on him for her while she and another maid, Stephanie (Marissa
Matrone), attend to their chores. One of the hotel guests, a spoiled
socialite, Caroline Lane (Natasha Richardson), asks Marisa to return
some designer clothes for her. After Caroline leaves, Stephanie coaxes
Marisa into trying them on before taking them back to the store. In
an uncharacteristically frivolous moment, Marisa slips into the chic,
expensive outfits. |
Ty appears at the door
with the handsome Christopher Marshall (Ralph Fiennes), an aspiring
U.S. Senator and one of Manhattan's most eligible bachelors. Ty has
come to ask Marisa's permission to walk through Central Park with
Christopher and his dog Rufus. Christopher is immediately attracted
to Marisa. Assuming she is a hotel guest, he asks her to join them.
She is about to refuse, but Stephanie intervenes and accepts for her.
Despite
the obvious sparks between them, Marisa is reluctant to encourage
Christopher, fearing she'll lose all that she's worked so hard to
build. But he pursues her, even though it could compromise his political
career.
As romance,
mistaken identity and front-page gossip collide, Marisa and Christopher
learn that the bigger your dreams, the better the chance they might
come true |
