.rachel_handler wrote about 'Maid in Manhattan' and how literally any meet-cute can happen in a New York City rom-com
Photo: Columbia Picutres It’s December 2002. Barely a year has passed since 9/11. George W. Bush has just given a speech about “faith-based initiatives” at a Marriott in Philadelphia, in the same year Donald Rumsfeld uttered the phrase “There are known knowns.” And in movie theaters across America, Ralph Fiennes is playing a Republican politician somebody wants to have sex with.
At the time of the film’s release, though, the critical consensus was rather myopic and uncharitable. If you ignored the context , you could conceivably describe Maid in Manhattan as nothing more than a perversion of the Cinderella story. Time, for example, named it one of the “Top 10 Worst Chick Flicks,” and the BBC called it “asinine.
Elsewhere, Marisa’s 10-year-old son is insatiably obsessed with Richard Nixon and solemnly says things like “I’ll make like a baby and head out first.” Natasha Richardson plays a socialite named Caroline Lane who, despite being beautiful and rich and Natasha Richardson, is presented as undatable and desperate. Marisa appears to invent the concept of charitable galas while visiting the zoo. A child is allowed to borrow a vintage Harry Winston necklace.
