LaughingTigerIMDb - 25 May 2024 Rom Com for Kids Depending on who you are, you're either going to love or hate this film. I firmly believe this is a children's movie. When I say children's movie, I mean this is the one film for kids under 12 to feel like they're watching a grown-up movie instead of G-rated cartoons. It's a sort of transitional movie for kids. There isn't one bad word spoken, no nudity, no innuendos, and the one token love scene is extremely safe.
This movie is really only for adults if you have a thing for Jennifer Lopez, Owen Wilson, or you are a parent watching this film with your kids, or even better: a teen babysitter watching this with kids.
I have little patience with romcom popcorn munching films, and really only watched this because I thought the concept was going to give us a few laughs or a lot more to work with. Instead, it's hopelessly predictable with the old "I wish I had your life" / "no, I wish I had YOUR life" sort of theme.
Jennifer Lopez basically plays herself, only using the name Kat Valdez. The only thing that makes this interesting is reading the trivia where she had such personal influence in interest in the film's costuming and songs. It's as if all Jennifer Lopez had to do was show up script-free. Perhaps since I was already annoyed, her nervous chuckle after every possible line that was thrown to her that was supposed to be cute eventually grated on me. And let's not count out the necessary "running in heels" scene when Kat has her epiphany. (All films like this need running scenes.)
Owen Wilson's character Charlie is unbearable. I am used to Wilson at least flinging out constant, amusing one-liners, but in this film, he's a nothing burger that the amazing Kat Valdez is supposed to find attraction to.
Finally, the stamp that made this a kids' movie is the forced character of Lou, played by Chloe Coleman. With her involved, we have a father who just so happens to teach at the school she attends, where she and all her kid friends make up half of the cast. Not to mention, a vehicle to put Jennifer Lopez's own real life sun Max Muñiz into the mix.
I could feel some influence of School of Rock, with Charlie desperately trying to make a class full of math nerds become cool, and the connection of Kat solidifying that with music, dance, and her Mary-Sue-character style of stardom.
I also felt like the writers ripped off the sequence of couples explaining how they met-a direct copy from When Harry Met Sally.
I hoped when I began watching this film it would eventually pick up and become more than what it was, but was eventually just disappointed in the writing, and when it came right down to it, the boringness of it all.
Enjoy it, kids. This one was made for you, as your coming-of-age film that will ease you into your teens watching more teen/young adult concepts.
sschmid-29739 - 16 December 2023 Poor writing.. Jennifer does her usual poor acting.. do not waste your time Yet another poor boring love story ..
2 actors in their 50s are trying to present us a love/marriage story? Why ? Couldn't they find us a better cast ? Jennifer Lopes is at her best when it comes to terrible acting.. her singing performances in the film truly put me to sleep 😴. It's yet another attempt to keep her out there..
Owen Wilson's charm is completely lost in this poor flick.. its so stereotype that he's playing a teacher marrying a superstar who got betrayed.
Do not waste your time because of the cast that might attempt.
Boring boring film with very poor writing. Jennifer Lopes who should just stop doing films.. and possibly singing too..
