Manhattan Queen

When Jennifer Lopez finds erself out of the running for a managers job a work because she never went to college, she winds up inventing a Harvard education, a Peace Corps term and a dazzling career as a consultant to land a job in Manhattan. And reconnect with the daughter she abandoned twenty years earlier. Can she keep all the balls in the air or will they come crashing down on her?

You'll recognize the outline as that of 1988's WORKING GIRL But while that was a romantic comedy with some serious societal statements to make, his is a drama both societal and personal, with a couple of funny low-comedy gags. It also raises once again the question of why Miss Lopez isn't a star. Everyone agrees she's gorgeous and talented, and some very well respected directors have directed her in movies; yet although everyone know who she is, the public doesn't seem to clamor for her. My take: there's not one role that she has made her own, so that I can't think of anyone else in the role.

With the able support of Leah Remini, Treat Williams, and Milo Ventimiglia.

Rating 6.0/10 It is watchable, but the performance of Jennifer Lopez is poor. I don't understand why they rate it 10 ! Are they all paid critics ? What's the point in rating if it is fake ! So disappointing !

J.Lo did an amazing work with this movie. It is nice to see actresses like her again on the big screen. It is the kind of romantic comedy that was popular in the early 2000s. I think people will enjoy this movie. However, it is possible to relate this movie with other J. Lo movies because it has a similar storyline. I would suggest the audience to ignore the similarities and focus in the storyline because it explores common circumstances in a funny and enjoyable way. I surely recommend this movie to everyone.

I should say that this movie probably isn't aimed at middle aged (bordering old) Englishman but I would be shocked to see anyone suggesting that this should receive any nominations for any awards, that it would want.

The plot is quite ludicrous, has more holes than a fishing net and is just laughable in places. It is squarely aimed at a light hearted feel good film market but the story it tells goes way past plausible and sense of reality in it is quickly lost.

On the bright side there are some funny moments, decent support characters and it is a very easy watch.

Here we go again, JLo in a role of a woman who happens to have a midlife crisis and drastically changes her life. She gets a new job, new wardrobe. However, it is all a lie as we could see in a trailer. The acting is good, Vanessa Hudgens is the one actor who in my opinion is keeping this film from flopping completely. Also Leah Remini was a good choice as well, giving us multiple good laughs during the film. JLo's acting is acceptable, good but not amazing. The plot is nothing new and very predictable. If you are looking for a film to relax on Sunday, this one's a good choice but do not expect anything. You will know what is going to happen in the next scene as well as the ending but there are a few funny scenes and some hearttouching ones too which was a good choice during writing the film.
