5 Reasons Why You Should Watch Second Act with J.Lo and Leah Remini



1. Adorable.

2. I want a BFF like Leah Remini, on-screen and off-screen. Jennifer Lopez is lucky to have her.

3. Treat Williams needs to hire me to sell face cream.

4. Did Treat and Milo Ventimiglia reminiscence about The WB during down time on the set?

5. Vanessa Hudgens and J.Lo on the screen loving each other. 😭😭😭

Bonus! 6. The movie is being panned on Rotten Tomatoes, probably because it's about lady business, like

- Corporate espionage

- Baseball championships

- Surviving foster care

- Homelessness

- Old school rap

- Identity fraud

- Seasonal depression

- Nepotism

- The perceived value of higher education

and

- Rowing crew?

Nothing says, Ew, girl stuff, like yelling at muscular men while they paddle a boat. πŸ›Ά
