Her Acting

...was better than his at least...althought that's not saying a whole lot.

The kid who played the son wasn't that good either.

It was a pretty disappointing film and failed to keep my interest. In the end I didn't care who did what to whom.

Agreed - at least we're seeing her in the caliber of film that is a good match for her.

I did like Selena, though. But even there, it seems a lot of folks who were into the real Selena didn't think JL did a good job of portraying her. I thought it was OK but I just never have known much about Selena.

Jennifer has a really pathetic sounding voice. She sounds slow minded or something. Part of being able to act is being able to talk--unless you are going to be in silent films. And who stars in silent films anymore?

Well, it turns out her acting days aren't over since she's the star of a new television series--which seems to be the trendy thing to do for big name movie actors these days.

I just couldn't figure out why the ads featured JLo up front and in color while the enormously talented Ray Liotta was background blue (along with Drea De Matteo.)

Oh, wait, I may have figured it out. Lopez is an executive producer.

I haven't seen the show yet, but after watching this predictable cliché of a movie, I'm kind of surprised she got the opportunity.

Nothing against Jennifer Lozez because I think she worked her butt off to get where she is, but c'mon, Ray Liotta taking a back seat to JLo?
