Short description

Office temp Charlotte Cantilini thinks she's found Mr. Right when she starts dating gorgeous surgeon Dr. Kevin Fields. But there's a problem standing in the way of everlasting bliss: Kevin's overbearing and controlling mother, Viola. Fearing she'll lose her son's affections forever, Viola decides to break up the happy couple by becoming the world's worst mother-in-law.

What's left behind the scenes

  • According to Jane Fonda, she based her character's behavior partially on the behavior of her ex-husband, Ted Turner.
  • Mark Ruffalo could have played Kevin.
  • All the photos of celebrities on Viola's table are genuine photos of Jane Fonda.
  • In 2004, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez broke up, and Ben began dating his "Daredevil" co-star Jennifer Garner. Lopez insisted that Michael Vartan specifically play her on-screen fiancé in the film after learning that Jennifer Garner's previous boyfriend was, in fact, Michael.
  • Jane Fonda had not appeared in a film for 15 years before filming "Monster-in-Law."
  • Jane Fonda agreed to star in the film after filming for "Elizabethtown," where she was to play Holly Baylor, was postponed to a later date.
  • In one episode, Viola asks Tanya Murphy about her favorite films. Tanya's list includes "Legally Blonde." Robert Luketic, the director of the film, also directed "Legally Blonde."
