Second Act

About This Movie

Second Act is a light-hearted romp with a surprisingly reflective undertone. Jennifer Lopez plays Maya Vargas, an assistant manager at a value shop, aiming for a promotion on her 43rd birthday. The film dives into the themes of self-worth and the challenges of ageism in the workplace, all wrapped in comedic moments. The pacing keeps things lively, with Maya’s misadventures unfolding as she navigates corporate hurdles despite her lack of a formal degree. The performances, especially Lopez's, bring a warmth and relatability that underscores the film's charm. It's not groundbreaking, but there's something to be said for its exploration of reinvention and the value of experience over traditional credentials.
