Wanda Sykes will join "Monster-in-Law". In the movie, Jennifer Lopez stars as a woman who is set to marry the perfect guy -- until she meets his mother, the world's worst mother-in-law.
Michael Vartan stars as the would-be husband and Jane Fonda will play the mother-in-law. Sykes will appear as Ruby, Fonda's straight-talking assistant. Robert Luketic ("Legally Blonde") will direct for New Line.
Sykes, well known on the stand-up comic circuit, headlined a short-lived sitcom, "Wanda at Large". Her feature credits include "Nutty Professor II: The Klumps" and "Pootie Tang".
