You're getting sleepy, very sleepy....

Warning: Spoilers
(Spoilers) that is what I felt was being said to me throughout this very typical and very obvious romantic comedy. That being said I was awake enough to notice the on-screen chemistry between Fiennes and Lopez was considerably better than in most standard issue romantic flicks. The plot involves Lopez working as a hotel maid, who through a series of events is mistaken for a hotel guest by New York Senatorial candidate Chris Marshall and sparks fly between them almost instantly. It's obvious these two will end up together by the time the film ends, which shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone, unless of course you've been living under a rock and have never seen a romantic comedy before. Of course the big scene pops up towards the end where the guy finds out the girl has lied to him, but not to worry (I pity you if you have up to this point) for the guy will forgive her as is obvious from the first 20 mins. of the film. I have seen far worse movies of this genre than "Maid" but that doesn't mean this is a great or even a good movie. It's decent, though sleep inducing for anyone who has seen this stuff before. ** stars.
