Leave your thoughts about Second Act.
| KonexiónRafael Rosales SantosIn general, Second Act is a film that could have gone directly to television. [Full Review in Spanish] |
| Original-CinKim HughesIf you are someone inclined to head to the theatre specifically to see the new Jennifer Lopez rom-com, you will get exactly the movie you hope for. And you will be happy. |
| The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Chandler LevackThe film feels as finely tailored to J. Lo as the booty-enhancing pencil skirts she wears throughout the movie: Second Act’s Maya from Queens is our Jenny from the Block. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLeah GreenblattWhat’s fun is just watching Lopez and her supporting cast — including her real-life best friend Remini, Tony winner Annaleigh Ashford as her tightly wound coworker, and a loopy Charlyne Yi as her phobic new assistant — move through the scenes so easily. |
| Screen It!Jim JudyI certainly didn't hate what's presented, and J-Lo is as watchable as always. But I couldn't escape the feeling that I had seen everything before, and more than once. (Full Content Review for Parents - Profanity, etc. - also Available) |
| Detroit NewsAdam GrahamEating a wad of raw cookie dough is satisfying, but it might also make you sick. That's how "Second Act" is. |
| Common Sense MediaTara McNamaraJLo glows in friendship comedy with swearing, racy humor. |
| New Zealand HeraldTom AugustineBy-and-large, the film goes exactly where you'll expect it to go from start to finish, but is propelled by the strength of the characters and some wonderfully deft screenwriting. |
| Pasadena WeeklyCarl KozlowskiLopez knocks her well-rounded role out of the park, but "Second Act" unfortunately has a number of gaping plot holes and logical lapses that render it a bit second-rate. |
| What She SaidAnne BrodieIts pure escapism, its predictable and thin, but Lopez is a charmer. That's the film's strength. |
