The Maid

I watched this movie not knowing what to expect. On the one hand I was excited because I heard some good stuff about it, but as always, I was a bit skeptical because it is an independent movie. No big studios behind it. And it was a really refreshing change from watching the over-fed Hollywood blockbusters, that in the late time, tend to look-alike.

I won't give away much, but it is about somewhat forbidden fruit, love that was not suppose to happen. Young guy with a bright future falls for an older maid. The maid recognized many similarities between her and the young boy, and he reminded her of her own forgotten hopes and dreams. On the other side, he found someone who understands him.

Can they make it, can their love stand the test of time? Well, I recommend you to go and watch this nice movie and enjoy in it, as I have enjoyed. I give it a 8/10!

Jack, the main character, is a horny, whiny, self-centered bastard. The dialog is terrible. He is delusional with his affection to the maid who is much older than he is. You can't buy into this one bit with his whining all the time about his dead mother and his relationship with his father who he refers to by his first name. He is verbally abusive and you just don't have any sympathy for him whatsoever. He is manipulative and I found the other reviews on this astounding when they praise this film.

This id supposedly falls in love with the maid after two days. You just want to b@itch slap the kid after one day. He acts like he is entitled to his own suffering and that nobody else matters. Just avoid this film if you don;t want to get angry at this preposterous melodrama soap opera tripe.

Such laughable tripe delivered with urgent longing and fiery emotion reminiscent of an electric fireplace.

In what world does a hot maid dress in loose-fitting clothes, her lush hair tumbling around her shoulders, and she wears impeccable makeup while doing laundry?

That would be in the same world where she needs emotional rescue from a snotty Ameircan 18-y/o brat.

I felt compelled to write this, my first review, as the ratings for this have so clearly been rigged. This feels like a mediocre 6th form media studies project. The script is dire, the story-line hackneyed and the acting workmanlike. The casting too is awful - Jack is supposed to be 17 but has a clearly receding hairline that puts him at or beyond the actor's real age of 26, and the supposedly much older maid Maria looks (and in real life is) the same age. The father is very 'regional TV drama series'. The pace is glacially slow and there is constant hotel lounge-bar piano music in accompaniment.

My son and I just ended up laughing at the clichés and overall awkwardness. Don't waste your time on this - just dig out The Graduate again and marvel...

Things go downhill since the first minute with this one.

Supposedly is the story about the romance between a youngster and a mature woman, right? Well, the troubles start when the guy playing that spoiled and rude american teenager looks like a thirty-something and the same age of the titular "maid", who doesn't even look like a working woman at all but a socialité in her autumn holiday.

Oh, and when this guy is stalking her, taking photos for his self-pleasure and looking not-so-young at all, well, that's so creepy. That woman could hire a good attorney to sue him and his father (who at least isn't taking very seriously this thing and doesn't even try to do an acceptable performance and only recite his lines out of conviction) and won a huge amount of money .

A girl suddenly appears only to flirt with the thirty-something-like who reminds that meme whit that image of Steve Buscemi playing a private detective on 30 Rock disguised as a youngster wearing a backward cap carrying a skateboard. And that girl kinda looks maybe more attractive than the "maid".

And that score, like the rejected music of a dull soap opera.

Is a mistery why there is so many people who gave this more than 2 or 3 stars, this bore-fest isn't even funny to watch. It's like fanfiction penned by a basement-dweller incel.

Horrible, HORRIBLE waste of time.
