Maid in Manhattan

(2002)

We rate J. Lo's performance in ''Maid in Manhattan''

PREMISE Lopez is a Cinderella-ish hotel chambermaid who tries on a rich guest's outfit and is mistaken for a socialite by a princely politician.

LOVE INTEREST Ralph Fiennes, the keen-eyed politico

OVERBEARING FATHER FIGURE Hotel valet Bob Hoskins

HER CHARACTER'S ANCESTRY Puerto Rican

MEMORABLE MOMENT It's all about the makeover, as Jenny from the block is transformed into a couture swan and makes a glam entrance to a formal party.

WHAT EW SAID In this ''graceless variation on Pretty Woman and Working Girl,'' Lopez seems ''steely and manufactured,'' while Fiennes is ''wan and watery.''

J. LO'S GRADE C
