Maid in Manhattan (2002 Wayne Wang)

From a John Hughes story, adapted by Kevin Wade (Working Girl), I've now no idea how this came to be on my radar but Ralph Fiennes and a pint and a half of Jay-Lo occupy the screen perfectly amiably. I like hotel films. Though I mean, y'know, she would have just told him... It's one of those films...

We love Ralph Fiennes, who's apparently rather good in the new remake of La Piscine. We also have a slightly camp Natasha Richardson, and Stanley Tucci, Bob Hoskins and (no relation) Priscilla Lopez, framed by Karl Walter Lindenlaub (of the Lindenlaubs) and cut together by Craig McKay again with some more slightly annoying music by Alan Silvestri again. Actually no idea who the Lindenlaubs are, though must get them over for lunch soon.
