Yes, you will get to see Lopez eat chili with her bare hands, but that's only half as disgusting as a close-up on a pregnancy test sinking into a pile of fresh dog vomit.

Nothing to see for anyone who's already viewed their fair share of formulaic romantic comedies.

...comes off as an almost prototypical example of a modern romantic comedy...

Has an intriguing concept, but with tired jokes, dumb characters and uninspired direction, the execution is botched all around making for a perfect example of all that's bad with the romantic comedy genre.

Lopez does a fine job mortifying herself in pursuit of physical humor.

Why call it a movie when it's really more of an extended, cutesy TV episode that ought to come with a laugh track and a vibrator?

It's no big surprise that Lopez can still get laughs; she has a relaxed way with the camera that has mellowed and ripened over the years.

Just as in sitcoms, every conflict and resolution often takes place here within the very same scene.
