Continuity mistake: When Marisa is going to the gala, she is wearing a peach chiffon wrap. When she enters the gala, it is gone and never to be seen again, (even when she leaves the gala and Chris follows her out).

-50/10.So far this is as generous as I've gotten on really bad movies which deserve negative ratings like this one. It's bad, I mean bad.Jennifer Lopez as Marisa Ventura, a single mother working in a New York hotel lands Ralph Fiennes as Christopher Marshall, a politician.That's the plot in a nutshell.The problems I can mention are:1. This story was done before, mostly notably as Cinderella, a timeless fairy tale and Disney animated movie.2.The title here is ripped off from a Vanessa Del Rio porno of the 80's,3.Most importantly, Jennifer Lopez is thoroughly unlikable.True she's fairly good looking but looks carry someone only so far.The hardest thing to believe is a politician marrying someone's hired help instead of keeping her on the side?Yeah right.I'm not sure what's worse:This lame idea or Hollywood expects their movies audiences to keep swallowing this trite no matter how many times they do it.Truthfully the movie could've been saved by hiring someone else to play the role instead of obnoxious diva Lopez.

Christopher: Look, can we start over? Second chance, second date? You as you, me as me. No secrets. What do you think?
Trivia: Julia Roberts was considered for the starring role of the maid, but she read an early version of the script and declined. Sandra Bullock was reportedly interested at one point.
Question: Which hotel is used for filming the one where Marissa works?
