Inside Jennifer Lopez & Ben Affleck's Georgia Wedding: PHOTOS
Sure Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck's wedding whitethorn person been a fairy tale, but not each brides tin accidental the aforesaid of their large day.
And, arsenic it turns out, sometimes J.Lo can't either.
In the archetypal trailer for her latest rom-com Shotgun Wedding, Lopez's Darcy and Josh Duhamel's Tom are acceptable to accidental "I do" during a picture-perfect destination wedding. But erstwhile the planning, the families and the feelings of acold feet get involved, the festivities rapidly go the thing bluish nary 1 asked for.

WORST: What to Expect When You're Expecting

Shall We Dance?
Love Interest: Dance!
Interestingly enough, Lopez is not the romanticist starring woman successful this 2005 film, her narration with Richard Gere arsenic his creation teacher remaining amazingly platonic and serving arsenic a catalysis to fortify his narration with his wife, played by Susan Sarandon. Nice successful concept, but unluckily lowers its placement successful this ranking. Shall we determination on?

Gigli
Love Interest: Ben Affleck
Listen, it would beryllium acold excessively casual to conscionable accidental this 2003 rom-com starring the world's astir celebrated couple—Bennifer forever!—is 1 of the genre's worst. It is an indispensable portion of popular civilization history, a relic of a infinitesimal successful personage civilization that should beryllium preserved but not revered. (Midnight Run, Scent of a Woman and Meet Joe Black manager Martin Brest ne'er helmed a movie again aft this and Lopez's already minimal surface clip other Affleck in Jersey Girl was halved the pursuing year.)
"I mislaid my consciousness of self, questioned if I belonged successful this business, thought possibly I did suck astatine everything," Lopez told Vanity Fair successful 2017 of the dismal media sum astatine that time, that included her divided from then-fiancé Affleck. "And my narration self-destructed successful beforehand of the full world. It was a two-year happening for maine until I picked myself up again."
But we reason that the J.Lo of today—and Bennifer 2.0—wouldn't beryllium arsenic beardown without the Gigli experience.

The Backup Plan
Love Interest: Alex O'Loughlin
Sigh, this 2012 outing—about a pistillate who meets the cleanable feline connected the aforesaid time she's acceptable to acquisition artificial insemination, a scrapped enactment from Alanis Morissette's "Ironic"—is wholly fine, rather adorable, actually, but besides wholly forgettable. Like, does it ever travel up successful speech erstwhile discussing Lopez's career? Exactly.

Second Act
Love Interest: Milo Ventimiglia
This 2018 movie, which co-starred Vanessa Hudgens and Lopez's BFF Leah Remini, was, rightfully, overshadowed by the star's electrifying crook successful Hustlers. (Shame connected you inactive for that snub, Oscars!) But the absorption being connected a woman's narration with herself, her vocation and her self-worth and not her romanticist relationship, which was secondary and complementary, was a invited change. (But spoiler alert: We guessed the large twist that Hudgens' quality was the girl Lopez's Maya gave up for adoption from the infinitesimal we heard the High School Musical prima was cast!)

Maid successful Manhattan
Love Interest: Ralph Fiennes
Who knew Lopez would person specified sparks with Lord Voldemort? While the crippled of this 2002 movie would apt not alert today, it is irresistible, beauteous darn charming and babe Tyler Posey belongs successful the pantheon of large rom-com children, on with Sleepless successful Seattle's Jeremiah and Sam successful Love Actually. Plus: Stuffy Stanley Tucci sighting!

Marry Me
Love Interest(s): Owen Wilson and Maluma
The lone mode to marque a J.Lo-fronted rom-com adjacent much irresistible is to adhd a soundtrack filled with archetypal songs, including a ballad that has been stuck successful our heads since the archetypal trailer dropped. We went successful to this popular star-spontaneously-married-an-everyman-concertgoer expecting bops, but we were blown distant by the effortless chemistry betwixt Lopez and Wilson, the movie prima mentation of high-low fashion. Add successful an adorable expansive romanticist gesture, a cute kid who is, of course, omniscient beyond her years and Sarah Silverman arsenic the wacky sidekick and we are acceptable to enactment a ringing connected it.

Monster-in-Law
Love Interest: Michael Vartan
Sure, sure, sure, the Alias prima is technically Lopez's romanticist spouse successful this vastly underrated (we said what we said!) 2005 movie. But it is her back-and-forth with Jane Fonda arsenic his overbearing and disapproving ma that truly shines. (P.S. Did you cognize this marked Fonda's archetypal large surface relation since Stanley & Iris successful 1990?) Come on, nary 1 continues transmission surfing erstwhile they spot Monster-in-Law is connected TV. No one!

BEST: The Wedding Planner
Love Interest: Matthew McConaughey
Is it chaotic to deliberation that Lopez could ever beryllium a pistillate that is ever the planner, ne'er the bride? Of course. And is it hilarious that Grey's Anatomy prima Justin Chambers spent the full movie with that Italian accent? Sì! And is it somewhat alarming that McConaughey's Dr. Steve Edison preaches that brownish M&Ms are good to eat because "they person little artificial coloring, due to the fact that chocolate's already brown"? Duh. And yet, determination we were (and still are) tossing each of the different morsels of deliciousness distant aft seeing this 2001 gem. Yes, adjacent the greenish ones. (Are we canceled now?)
The Wedding Planner is 1 of the eventual lazy play movies, with undeniable chemistry betwixt its leads and a swoonworthy last scene. Add successful an assistance from rom-com hall-of-fame BFF Judy Greer, and you person yourself an exquisite and timeless classic.
