Second Act


Second Act is a comedy in the vein of "Working Girl" and "Maid In Manhattan." Jennifer Lopez stars as Maya, a 40-year-old woman struggling with frustrations from unfulfilled dreams. Until, that is, she gets the chance to prove to Madison Avenue that street smarts are as valuable as book smarts, and that it is never too late for a Second Act.

Never in a million years did I imagine that I would enjoy this movie as much as I did.  I totally expected a run of the mill formula and predictable movie.  And honestly for the most part - it absolutely was exactly that.  However, the chemistry between all the actors really made this movie a lot of fun.  You get hooked by the relationships.  There are plenty of laughs - especially from Leah Remini as the best friend and how she talks to her kids.

I would actually recommend people checking this out.  Again - never expected to be saying that after seeing this but this was a very, very enjoyable comedy even though you know exactly how its all going to play out from the start.
