Soooo bad. Their romance was utterly unbelievable and their kiss cringe-inducing.

They seemed like they were in different movies.

I wonder if a gutless copout occurred in the casting of a white guy for the lead anyway. Seems like J-Lo wants to mainstream herself by playing against white guys on screen (Selena excepted, but that was a biopic).

Please put some dashes above your sig line so I won't think it's part of your dumb post.

I thought so, too. If Ralph Fiennes were not such a good actor, this movie could have been even worse. Their "romance" was almost painful to watch.

brrrr.....

I agree with the OP, there was little to no chemistry between the 2 leads.
Jennifer just looked uncomfortable. She was out of her league for this role anyway, her acting seemed forced.
She was supposed to be an average woman who 'cleaned up' (no pun intended) well, but she just looked heavy & weird (orange skin) at the gala.

They had plenty of chemistry together and played naturally against each other, never forcing their positions or overacting.

I actually think there was chemistry because they were such an odd pairing.

I saw the last part of the movie, it was a cute film. The chemistry was OK.
