The Greatest Love Story Never Told

Omg that was hilarious and i got so embarrassed on behalf of everyone who knows her..desperation on a narcissistic is not a good look.

She's a bad singer, she's a meh actress she's a great dancer And as a human well she's not good either.

Zero respect to their previous relationships..uncalled for at all ..and Ben omg..i could feel how irritated he was with her And like attempting to do what Prince did...lol seriously???

She's not in the same dimension as Prince.

Imagine ill use my money to make a movie about me...and embaress ppl when they dont want anything to do with this epic embarrassing look at me "documentary "

I have long viewed Jennifer Lopez, who is an amazing actress and artist, as a bit of a narcissistic diva. In other words, I appreciate her art and talents, but wouldnt want to know her in person. She seems kinda fake, like someone who tries overly hard to project an image of perfection when reality is anything but that (and she confirms that is what she has been doing in the movie), and it makes it hard for the discerning person to like her, trust her, or root for her. This movie, in many ways, confirmed my perceptions of her and the irony was that this was her attempt to let down her guard and be vulnerable, yet it seems like she just can't help but be less than honest. It was funny (in an ironic way) to watch Ben try to call her out on her dishonesty in some respects. It also confirmed to me that they are not in love, nor are they soul mates. All I feel is tension between them, which I have sensed from afar, not infatuation or even love, and certainly not the greatest love story never told. So if my perceptions are correct and she can't see that - if she is unable to face reality because of the stories in her head and the need to control the narrative and her image - it makes me sad for her.

The only shocking part to me was that Ben has a deeply romantic and thoughtful aspect to his personality (in terms of the "bible" he gave her). He has a deep side, which you really don't see in the chatacters he chooses to portray. So it was nice to get a glimpse of that. And I think he genuinely cares about her as a person. But I don't think they are in love.

But their relationship kinda makes sense...a recovering alcoholic/liar pairs with another narcissistic liar (someone who lies to herself, not just others) in an effort to make things appear okay to the outside world. I mean...he didn't even realize their first break up broke her heart until he read the script for this movie. So what do they talk about with each other? Work? The weather? How can a relationship grow when people stay at such a surface level with each other? So I hope for their sakes, they can find the deeper path to honesty at some point. Cause truth truly sets us free.

The overall impression I have gotten from Jennifer Lopez lately is that she thinks we are more enamored with her than we actually are, and I have gotten that impression from her last 2 projects. So maybe she is confusing self-love for self-worship? Cuz they are not the same. So I just pity her more than anything. (Probably not the expectation a famous millionairess would expect from others.) That said, I hope she continues down the path to learning greater self-honesty. This was a step in that direction in some respects so I gave it 5 stars that reason. And I liked seeing her without makeup. Props for that.

This was honestly hilarious. Pairing it with the other 2 flaccid tines of the big comeback - her new album and the visual video that accompanies it - make for a great sk had its good JLO night with your friends. Have some drinks and smokes with your friends and you won't stop cracking up at this.

From her obviously fake PR style narration to the camera, to her attempts to seem real and genuine that are again fake and scripted, to her just wishing Ben could see how beautiful and talented she is, to her attempting to be humble - all of it just falls so so so flat.

Bonus points if you can keep track of how many custom rhinestone and bejeweled water bottles she has throughout the film. We lost count and looked it up just to confirm that yes of course she sells them in her site. Yet again just another curated PR move within this already artificial attempt at drumming up business for her music and movies.

It will make you laugh and cry, but not for the reason they set out to...

Industrial grade self-indulgence. The sheer egotism required to make this clap-trap is off the scale. Why do people like J-Lo not have friends, associates or business partners who say to her, look mate, don't do this, it will wreck your brand/ make you look stupid/ make you look like a self-indulgent diva? There is really nothing here that is film worthy, only maybe to a tiny group of long term fans. Everyone else will watch this through their fingers and iluless the viewer has a strong stomach, are battlefield brave or are somewhat infirm, will simply not make it to the end.

I'd say this was one to avoid if I'm honest.

While I have never been a huge fan of Jennifer Lopez, I've always thought she was a decent actress and screen presence. I do not consider her a great singer by any means, but she is at least entertaining in the things she's done in the past.

This? Not entertaining at all. I'm pretty sure J-Lo did not mean to make a comedy, but yet I could not stop laughing at how ridiculous and self-absorbed she came off here. This is the very definition of a self-funded vanity project.

J-Lo has always been accused of being a diva, and this seems to be her attempt to try and come off as more humble, vulnerable, and relatable. Unfortunately, that is not how it comes off. In fact, it comes off as a dishonest portrayal of who she is.

First of all, J-Lo also acts like she came from extremely humble beginnings, yet as I can attest, the school she went to was fairly expensive even in the 1970s and 1980s. That school was Preston High School, and my aunt graduated three years ahead of her (1984). Is J-Lo a hard worker who got way beyond the Bronx? Sure, I suppose, but she acts like she came from absolutely nothing, which is not quite the case.

I don't get the sense here that she and Ben Affleck are soulmate at all. In fact, I don't think they are even in love. I just sense tension between the two.

It's strange that for over 10 years, Ben's marriage with Jennifer Garner was kept pretty private and that one of the reasons he split from J-Lo was supposedly the media attention. Yet, what does he do as soon almost as he's divorced from Jen Garner? Runs right back to J-Lo. It tells me he is truly just as desperate for the fame and attention as she is, but Jen Garner probably was not. Either that or neither can accept that it's not 2003 anymore and people aren't as interested in them.

In a lot of ways, this documentary confirms what a lot of people already think of J-Lo instead of refuting the perception.
