This is a little different of a review for me, since everyone's feelings about it are unclear to me, and I can't make my statements to disclude your doubts, but from what I've heard, this movie did respectably as well, and went over great with the general movie-going crowd, so that's definitely a plus. ...

In the lead up to the climax, watch out for the marvellous Elaine Strich, as she makes her mark, as Viola's own Monster in Law.
Monster in Law belongs to the two women, although Fonda steals the show with the best lines, the showiest clothes and the mouth-watering moments.
