JLo, as well as this documentary, is full of ostentatious, self-glorifying stale banter. In this documentary we see nothing interesting from JLo’s personal life, family life or actual career struggles. It simply covers self-produced issues that she herself claims are produced by political, racial and cultural discrimination. She complains and constantly excuses her career faults by being a Latina woman. She should really consider that maybe she’s not as talented as she thinks. Throughout this documentary, JLo claims to love to sing, dance and act but it’s very clear that she is only truly interested in the feedback, praise and attention she receives after she does those things. She has no true interest in film making, storytelling, creating deep characters or producing meaningful craft. She’s solely and completely motivated by fame, credit and money. Shallow. This documentary was a shallow COMMERCIAL for and from JLo. By watching this documentary the viewers feed her delusional idea of stardom. JLo is not a devoted artist. She is a Hollywood star. She in not a passionate actress. She’s a spoiled diva. She’s a product of the media. There is no problem with being an unauthentic, soul-less vehicle for Hollywood production… but claiming creative responsibility, artistic integrity or even suggesting political ideas is beyond her scope of understanding. JLo is a product of the media. Without the media, there would be no JLo. She is clearly trying her hardest to stay relevant with this documentary.

Although this is nothing like Dr. Hunter S. Thompson’s novel beside character names, location and general gist, Bruce Robinson and Johnny Depp conjured up Hunter’s notorious essence with this film. It’s stated that although the movie doesn’t follow the novel’s trajectory, it does pay respect to Hunter’s lifestyle, experiences and motives. I genuinely enjoyed the wild and reckless attitude the characters have in their experiences, the cinematic portrayal of mid century Puerto Rico (rare in films) and the hilarious screenwriting. Although this movie touches on very relevant and realistic troubles that occur in Puerto Rico, it’s a movie based in journalism, we are seeing daily activities and circumstances. By no means is this a life-changing fable filled with meaning and lessons. It’s a fantastic depiction of anecdotal representation from Hunter’s time in PR as well as his general lifestyle and personality. “Enough booze to float a yacht and enough fear and loathing to sink it” Cheers!

A wonderfully whimsical and enchanting story that simultaneously explores the harsh truths of responsibility, or, perhaps more accurately, the false perception of responsibility. The characters are simple, yet genius creations; each with depth and clear individual motives. We sympathize, adore and realistically understand their perspectives, this is achieved through a wonderfully written script, a phenomenal acting and a storytelling musical composition to couple with the dreamy and warm visuals. A beautiful story of family love, romance, acceptance and compassion. One of my personal favorites. I wonder why there or not many other movies like this. 10/10

It’s easy to see how Disney can dispense whole productions to allude to future stories. I suggest that they rely on using scenes for transitional filler between stories not whole movies. This film was ridiculously boring with its fragile attempts at character development and character introduction. Marvel seems to have lost its integrity with the Disney take on the MCU. It’s sad to see a such potential wasted. The best part was Dr. Xavier’s appearance with the classic 1980s X-men series theme motif as he’s background music. Go on. Eat it up. Consume. Watch the next 15$ episode of your favorite series. I didn’t understand this movie, and surely I shouldn’t because I should have watched Wanda Vision on Disney plus, a 9$ monthly charge. The apologetic, mediocre, industrially produced material that is the next marvel movie. Another grand edition to the MCU. Another failed demonstration of storytelling. Pay for your poison. Eat your poison.

This movie is horribly written and its’ overall attempt to accommodate with “modern teenage lifestyles and tendencies” is much worst than retched. It is a extremely misguiding and misinformative film. It is a horrible over saturation of what high school is, I highly recommend you to skip this movie on your Saturday night. Mediocre acting and trashy screen writing has contributed to the extremely vicious and dangerously painful headache this movie’s cringe will cause. The director is so disoriented with what actually happens in high school, it appears he never actually attended. In his attempt to be funny and dramatic, he fails to be realistic, which isn’t an essential part of a spoof, but results in a disgusting mis interpretation that makes the film super uncomfortable to not only watch, but even listen to. Selfies are not that important. Prom is not that important. The director seems to be stuck in his elementary school mentality, because the themes in the film revolve around very basic high school stereotypes. If the directors’ purpose was to nauseate the viewer, ruin positive mental progression, or make the viewer extremely unhappy.. he’s great. Congratulations.
