This has an interesting premise, I hope they didn't drop the ball on this one. Looks good.

This looks absolutely horrendous. It honestly looks like one of the worst films of the year and Jennifer Lopez (who I usually like) seems HORRIBLE here. I'll most DEFINITELY be skipping this.

Worst of the year??? Why do so many here over react and overstate things that obviously arent true based on decent trailers?

Its mind numbing to me

[Moviefan02000]

In my opinion it *does* look like the worst movie of the year. The simple sight of the title is gag inducing to me.

Jennifer Lopez teaming with a husband of hers on screen again. Sound familiar anyone? ;)

^ Jersey Girl ? I Liked it ! :D (and no she wasn't with Affleck when she filmed Gigli).

i actually really liked El cantante, it's not a perfect movie i didn't really like the way the story is told, with flash back and all but other than that the acting is really good, the cinematography is great, the movie is funny at time and also very sad and the best about it is the music !!!!
