Reviews

Rolling Stone -
It's a hoot to watch Fonda cut loose and mix it up with J. Lo, even when the laughs turn mean-spirited.
|
|
Village Voice -
"Legally Blonde" director Robert Luketic bumbles along with typically clumsy blocking and framing, and the misogyny inherent in the three-ring spectacle of bitch slaps, barbiturate covert ops, and wedding plan hysteria does rankle.
|
|
L.A. Weekly -
This is a gay men's movie whose primary function is to doll Fonda up like a drag queen and let her rip.

|
Entertainment Weekly -
As for Monster-in-Law, it's tripe on a plate.

|
Empire -
A note to Fonda: even thin, fabulous 67-year-olds shouldn't wear strapless gowns. It's scary.
