What is it about critics and critics want-to-be's wanting to see only something new? If you have eaten a dish you like once, are you never going back again because you had one like it before? JLo is filmed very well in this movie, and due to the media attention she gets, people easily overlooked how an accomplished actress she really is. She grimaces, she cries, she wants and yet does the proper thing against her wish. She's believable. You feel her pain. I am not a Jennifer Lopez celebrity fan. But I am (now) a Jennifer Lopez movie fan. Matt McConaughey does a nice job, and Bridgette Wilson showed some fine moments. Old fashion story. You knows the ending. And you want that ending. Works for me.
