my friend was like “i’m tired and i don’t know why” and i said “because we just watched seventeen movies in two hours”
allisonJan 21, 2019What if I told you this story hinges on the pro-life agenda and the United States dropping the bomb on Hiroshima? Because it does.
Sam DoucetDec 27, 2018the director did 50 first dates and get smart.......those of you who watched this knew what you guys were getting into and you STILL decided to hate on this movie WOW just let JLo have some FUN

BethanyJan 3, 2025i know it took some convincing to get jlo to play vanessa hudgens mother

Madison likedSecond ActI forgot the storyline but I saw this with my best friend and her family, they said it was pretty good

Its such a good movie to watch specially for the Holidays. Funny and inspiring.
FMFelica ModesteMany funny moments. Interesting plot. But like so many movies lately, the ending seemed to be "thrown together"
RGRafael GonzalezIt was just an okay movie. Sure there were some funny parts but it was mostly trying to tug at your heart strings. Speaking of that, while some parts of the movie do achieve it for the most part it just felt bland. If anything, my money was well spent seeing the chemistry…

Rom Com Queen is back! Love JLO movies!
HLheather lemasterIt was great but it could have had less swearing.
DLdevon lucasEvery trope I can think of was used as a plot point. Completely contrived. But what pissed me off most was when they twisted off the caps of two Sierra Nevada beers. They're not twist offs.

I love Jennifer López but this movie sucked. Story line was dumb. Wish I could get my money back.
AWAngela WheatonI really liked it! JLo and Milo were Yummo!

For all the film’s fumbled shortcuts, air of semi-intentional Nineties-ness, and the completely mad bit with a stray flight of doves, it jollies along with some amiability.

So, there you have it, a bad good movie, or a good bad movie, but a very decent Jennifer Lopez movie.
