Product of 2000's "Meet the Parents" in which J. Lo plays a female Ben Stiller, an ambitious young woman who has difficulty sustaining a living, then falls in love with a Doctor, son of a wealthy and popular News Reporter who was replaced by someone YOUNGER. As a result, this the female Robert De Niro (played by Jane Fonda) will attempt to do anything in her power to avoid losing her son the same way she lost her long career.
A Barely memorable movie that is rather repetitive and unoriginal by anyone's standards. It is also very predictable, filled with a hardly likable supporting cast, and it seems more of a re-hash of the Ben Stiller-Robert De Niro blockbuster.
But not everything is bad about this movie. First of all, Jennifer Lopez still shines with her typical role and it's obvious that she dug herself out of the big hole created by the disastrous Gigli. It is good to finally see former Hanoi Jane come out of retirement and into centre stage as the scheming matriarch. This movie gives the two leads the boost they needed after their previous failures and controversies. The jokes and the confrontations between the two characters make this movie likable and steady in pace.
Again, like many summer movies, this movie is not meant to be taken seriously, so don't expect anything really smart coming out of it. This movie, which became unexpectedly successful, was practically a warm-up since it was released the week before Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker stage a even more aggressive duel in Episode III.
