i personally think JLo is a way better actress than she is a singer, (apart from her crying scenes in the film!)

anyone else got any opinions?

don't try to understand me, just love me!

Yeah, you're totally right.

But you must remember that she is an ASTOUNDINGLY terrible singer, so her acting is just under "total crap."

If you couldn't tell she was reading throughout the entire movie, then you're obviously sharp as a marble.

Jlo's got famous on her looks, fashion and celebrity gossip. she is a star, not a performer. do you think her level of fame is accurate in relation to her acting or singing ability? hell no! she's never had a film as big as Scream but she's a bigger actress than Neve. its crazy

comparing acting and singing of "jay lo" is like comparing crap to crap.
When someone can´t sing, she/he can camouflage it with the song itself, dancing, visage of the singer, but when someone can´t act, you can stand yourself on head but just can´t hide it. And watching HER acting is like SO DESTROYING. I don´t have to watch ¨horrors for months from now.
the plot was poor and no actors as Ralph Fiennes or Natasha Richardson could actually do something with it, even they tried and they´re the reason I don´t regret seeing this film.
But y´know, no more J.Lo, PLEASE.
