I thought this movie was awful.


Since this is a board to discuss this movie, I'm going to give my personal review and y'all can feel free to add to it or disagree with me.

I personally that this movie was horrible. It's not anybody's fault when it came to the actorsl; Jennifer Lopez is not bad, truthfully, and Ralph Fiennes was very likeable. Personally, I thought Amy Sedaris was a little over-the-top, but Marissa Matrone was excellent.

I think it was the fault of the script and how it moved the plot along. The message was nice enough: it doesn't matter how much money you make, a person is a person - their job does not define them, their character does. But the script was too choppy and predictable - I really didn't see enough build-up in the Marissa/Chris relationship to really see why they both took it so seriously.

Although it was better than I actually thought it would be, it still really felt like, to me, an acting vehicle for Jennifer Lopez. I personally didn't like this movie.
