I'm glad to see other peoples' review are like mine. I don't think enough people have seen this movie. It was great drama, Kiefer Sutherland's performance as a dying man - forcing a reconciliation with his sister,was wonderful. He always play tough so well, naturally he would be good as this forceful ad designer perfectionist who happens to be gay and has aids. What a complex character, he played it so well. All the characters were realistic, you feel something for all of them. I highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in complex yet simple story that reminds us how important family relationships are no matter how dysfunctional it may seem.

Maid in Manhattan

Ralph Fiennes as a great romantic lead
26 February 2003
I would not have watched this movie had it not been for the actor Ralph Fiennes. I'm big fan of Ralph Fiennes, I'll check out all that he has performed in. I was disappointed that there was not more dialogue and character development between the two main characters. It was a good storyline, but just missing a little something. I would buy the DVD when it comes out, for days when you are in the mood for light romantic comedy stuff. Again, Ralph Fiennes stole the show for me - he needs to do more romantic comedy. I would love to see him play the serious attorney husband in the movie "Barefoot in the Park".
