Cast
I believe the cast list for this film is wrong - Lionel Bloch is played by Bob Hoskins, not Bo Hopkins. 172.201.68.126 21:00, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Unless there is anything special about the cast, can't we just leave it to technical databases like IMDb? -62.219.97.118 (talk) 13:30, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

POV
I would argue this article isn't a nuertal POV —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.199.1.69 (talk) 17:39, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * The Reception section fails to mention the critical reception. I had a quick look at the history of this page and randomly selected an older revision where someone said the film was "blasted" by critics which perhaps isn't exactly neutral but there is something quite flawed in giving only the box office numbers.  Metacritic gave Maid in Manhattan only 45%, Rotten Tomatoes gave 40%.  So yes I agree the article needs to have some criticism as the film itself received some.  -- Horkana (talk) 00:01, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

love rosie
Alex and Rosie have been best friends for almost as long as they can remember. During Rosie's 18th birthday party, Alex kisses her whilst they are both drunk, and he realizes that he has romantic feelings for her. The next day, while nursing a hangover and having had her stomach pumped, Rosie regrets having got drunk, and tells Alex that she wishes that the night had never happened. He interprets her words as Rosie just wanting to be friend, not realising that Rosie had no recollection of the night before.

Greg, the "fittest guy in their year", asks Rosie to the school dance. While she originally intended to go with Alex, she accepts Greg's offer when she learns that Alex is thinking about going to the dance with Bethany, the popular girl in their year. After the dance, Rosie has sex with Greg, but the condom slips off inside her.

Rosie aspires to one day run her own hotel, inspired by her father who works in a hotel as a valet, so applies and gets accepted to a hotel management course at Boston College. She rushes to tell Alex but finds him having sex with Bethany, which causes her to vomit.

Rosie discovers that she is pregnant but refuses to tell Alex, fearing that he will forgo his chance to study at Harvard to help take care of her. After he leaves for the United States, she gives birth to a daughter, whom she names Katie. Alex learns of Rosie's pregnancy from Bethany, after Rosie runs into her with Katie, and becomes Katie's godfather.

Five years later, Rosie visits Alex in Boston and they spend a night together talking and visiting places. The following morning, she discovers that his girlfriend, Sally, is pregnant. She understands that Alex's living situation was not proper and tries to discuss it with him but he rebuffs her, saying that at least their child will have both parents.

Infuriated, Rosie leaves Boston immediately. She reconciles with Greg, who had initially fled to Ibiza upon learning of her pregnancy, and they eventually marry in 2009. Later, Rosie learns that Alex split from his girlfriend after discovering that the baby was not his. She bumps into Bethany, now a famous model, and suggests that Bethany look up Alex on an upcoming trip to the US.

Another five years pass, Rosie's father passes away from a heart attack whilst on vacation with Rosie's mother. Alex attends the funeral, where he reconciles with Rosie. At the same event, Greg behaves immaturely after getting drunk, causing a scene. This later prompts Alex to write Rosie a note saying that she deserves better and that he can be that better man. However, Greg intercepts the note and hides it from Rosie.

Later, Rosie discovers that Greg is cheating on her and kicks him out. While disposing of his things, she finds the letter from Alex. She calls him, but discovers that Bethany is living with him now and they are engaged. They invite Rosie to be the "best man" at their wedding.

Rosie plots to interrupt the wedding, but fails, as the church ceremony is over by the time she arrives due to weather interrupting flights. At the reception, she gives a speech, telling Alex that she will always love him, as a friend. Her daughter, Katie, brings her friend Toby with her to the wedding, in a friendship that is reminiscent of Rosie and Alex when they were children.

During a dance, Toby suddenly kisses Katie, but she pushes him away and runs outside. Rosie and Alex follow to comfort her and she relates the situation to them. He says she might regret pushing him away, and Toby might never recover and never find someone to replace her. After a moment, Toby finds Katie and apologizes for what he did. As he asks her to forget what just happened, Katie interrupts him with a kiss.

In that moment, Alex learns that Rosie does not remember the kiss that they shared on her 18th birthday. He realizes that he had been mistaken in interpreting her desire to forget that night as her wanting to stay platonic.

Using her inheritance from her father, Rosie finally fulfills her ambition to start her own hotel. Alex is her second guest. When he arrives, he tells Rosie that he ended his marriage with Bethany, and shares with her a recurring dream he has had about the two of them being 2A02:C7C:98B9:1900:B5B7:AD7:8303:9984 (talk) 12:35, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
