Second Act

2018 · 1h 43m · Romance, Comedy

IMDb 5.8 Metacritic 46 RT 44%

Skip it. Despite Jennifer Lopez's charm and a heartwarming premise about second chances, the critics consensus is clear—this rom-com plays it safe and uninspired. With scores hovering in the mid-40s across the board, you'll find better ways to spend your evening.

Plot

Value Shop assistant manager Maya Vargas wants only one thing for her 43rd birthday -- a promotion. While her résumé may not scream upper management, her track record certainly does; she is an innovator who listens to her customers and delivers results. When she loses the job to a college-educated candidate, Maya sets out to prove to Madison Avenue that street smarts are as valuable as book smarts -- and it's never too late for a second act.

Director: Peter Segal

Cast: Jennifer Lopez, Vanessa Hudgens, Leah Remini, Milo Ventimiglia, Treat Williams
