Jennifer Lopez: Halftime

First of all I love to watch celebrity or singers documentary but this one didn't give me anything new. Maybe I don't live in USA and because of that I don't feel the meaning what she represents... last 20 mins of the documentary was super politic. I think at a point all celebrities earn too much money and when satisfaction level is full, they start to talk about politics.. This is super normal because they have power... Also I did read some comments about narcissism, guys please be realistic if you want to be superstar in this world you have to be. She is like a perfectionist but he must be also... Anyway i watched this documentary but unfortunately I didn't feel anything, for example I didn't cry or I didn't feel sad at all... also when I realize that end of the day jlo earns million dollars and I write comments here :) so that didn't wake me up or motivate..

I'm a disabled Latina and I grew up with a very aggressive mother who had to fight for most of my rights. Because of this, I'm extremely turned off by these personality types. Despite my disability and my minority status as a Latina, I fully admit I have a problem taking up space, something Lopez has NO problem doing. Unfortunately for someone like me, it's extremely unflattering for me to watch a documentary of a personality type like this. While most people are praising her perseverance, I just heard whine after whine after whine of a very privileged person. You can't argue Lopez isn't a hard worker. She's one of my favorite actresses but her singing and dancing leave something to be desired. Maybe she should stop whining about the oscar nomination she didn't get (that she didn't deserve by the way. 'Hustlers' was terrible. ) and focus on becoming a better singer and dancer. Until then I can't feel pity for someone who has gotten by on how hot they are.

Without giving too much away the documentary shows us Jennifer's life from a new perspective, HER perspective. I would've never guessed that she felt that way about all the butt comments in interviews. The documentary also shows the results of those sexist remarks, and how she coped with it. JLo has gone through a lot these past two decades, and the documentary shows everything in a new light. Does this documentary make me want to go listen to her music or watch her films? Yeah, Do I have more respect for Jennifer? Without a doubt!

If you watch this in June 2022, chances are you're probably aware of all the bad presses/social media hate that JLo has received surrounding this documentary (i.e. "rivalry with Shakira", "crying over Oscars snub"). Let's clarify this right away, all of the negativity was due to dialogues and scenes taken totally out of context for clickbait. Ironically enough, the media and societal treatment to JLo is one of the topics in this documentary, so it really drives home how after nearly 30 years in the business, this absolutely unfair, horrible treatment that people give to this woman remain nearly the same. But that adversity really puts into perspective of how special Jennifer Lopez - JLo - Jenny from the Block is. As it's said in the documentary, people really take her for granted. The documentary is chaotic because it juggles between her music, movie and personal life - but that's expected when you do a documentary about someone who can do it all successfully. One thing the documentary is very successfully at is showing how there's literally nobody else in the business doing what she does at her caliber. The amount of hard work, determination, stamina, strength and talent that it takes to juggles 3 and a half full time careers as a woman is insane. And yet, the industry hasn't been given her the recognition she deserves, and the hate from people that she receives due to misinformation is borderline bullying at this point. After watching this documentary, if you are a fan of JLo, you will grow to appreciate her discipline and drive even more. And if you are a hater, maybe you will take a look at how unfair you have been treating this woman - not everyone needs to be a fan, but one could really give credit where it's due and not fuel the hate.

Jennifer Lopez has always been a perfectionist. She never leaves a single stone unturned and this documentary is a marvelous example of the same. Performing hits after hits at the superbowl and offering a backstage look this is an amazing watch! JLo really showed why she's a force to be reckoned with. From captivating visuals to firecrackers to ginormous stages to intricate details to amazing choreography to live instruments and vocals (something we rarely see in pop culture anymore), JLo impressed the millions who watched the show and now will watch this Netflix Film!
