Monster-in-law

Mary, Shirley and I went out to lunch and to the movies today because, well you know, it's cheap popcorn day! We had our usual chicken oriental salad at Applebee's, and then off to the mall to see Jane Fonda and Jennifer Lopez in Monster-in-law.

It was funny, cute, and enjoyable - just the way I like them. Jane Fonda did a great job - it was really kind of a slapstick role - but she was funny. She obviously has made up her mind to play her age. I still don't quite get Jennifer Lopez. She's good enough, but I don't think that she's anything outstanding. Elaine Stritch had a bit part, but she was excellent - just the best. I think it would have been a better movie if her role had been expanded.
