Hopefully it will have the succes of Monster-in-law (her last rom-com ?) or even better Maid in Manhattan, i’ve read on a couple of boards how they’re missing seeing her in a romantic comedies so that’s great for the movie she has her public in that genre.

I am in agreement with you. I will only go see this movie simply because Alex is in it. I am not a fan of JLO’s and I am not real happy to see him with her but if this helps his career and propels him further up I am all for it. God forbid it doesnt hurt him.

But you’re talking about her recent track records ? The last 2 movies she made were independant movies so they barely costed more than $15M so they were released in just 500/600 theaters like every independant films i wouldn’t expect them to broke any Box-iffice record.

For her Rom-coms The 3/4 she did brought more than $150M each at the ww Box-office and 3 of them were #1 when they came out the one who only did Ok in America (But was huge outside the US) is Shall we dance? and she had a supporting role in that one didn’t she ?

So it’s funny i’m sure if The back-up plan is a succes which we all hope it will be some of you will say that it’s because of Alex only and if it Flops you’re going to blame Jlo.

And Aniston is a good exemple before that Dog movie who did great last year and the Vince Vaugh movie (and thank to him) she had 3/4 Flops in a raw so that doesn’t mean much.

Hi All,

Yes I think we should all agree to disagree here. Of couse we all have our personal likes and dislikes and it would be a very strange world in deed if we all were attracted to the same things. JLo is a very talented woman, which she has shown over her long career, however for me I love her as a singer./dancer She has a great singing voice and dances fantastically but HEY, that’s just me and I am sure I am allowed to chose what I Iike just as everyone else is allowed their choices. Yes I can appreaciate her as a singer /dancer and Yes she is not my idea of a great actress however I do appreciate that there are those who like her acting. I apologise if I have offended any of her fans as this was not what I intended. I hope Alex and JLo work well together, have great onscreen chemistry and that the movie is a huge success that will be another stepping stone for Alex’s career. As many others have stated, actors all have to start somewhere.

My initial concerns were her most recent track records with her movies and that it would definitely be a positive to have Alex contribute to the movie’s pre release hype. I did not write the tabloid reviews that are comparing JLo with Jennifer Anniston I merely stated that they are out there and that people will be chosing who they prefer to watch. Sometimes it helps to add to the choice by giving the public more to chose from ie. hype about the leading man. I could go on to quote the box office performance of JLo’s movies since Gigli and the reviews that were received but that is public knowledge for anyone to view online.

As others have stated this is only a movie teaser and who knows what the final poster will look like but if JLo is allowed as much say in the movie as published then I am sure she will have some say in the final movie poster. It would be nice to think that Alex would appear on the poster in some small way, but if not, all his fans know who he is and that he will be in the movie.

I wish the entire cast success and hope the movie is a hit.

Will be looking forward to the release date.

And hey, if you really really don’t like Jlo, just wait till the DVD comes out and do what several enterprizing Hugh Jackman fans did to the movie Australia-edit her out. The “Nichole Kidman free” Australia is kind of weird, but I can understand the motivation. Its pretty simple to do with the right tools. Putting your fingers in your ears and humming during annoying scenes also works. Just don’t hum too loud in the theatre.

Thank Nadioz! Great examples you have there. Also the co-stars of the first two.. Dermot Mulroney and James Marsedn are also big stars themselves and yet the lead actress got top billing… hmmm…..
