why do people obsess over J-Lo's acting?

It's quite possible that some people have grown so accustom to the perfectionism of Hollywood that reality now seems unrealistic to them In order to entertain the masses, actors have been forced to portray their characters beyond that of realism and they have to maintain a physical beauty thats actually rare in society To what end.??? Is it any wonder so many celebrities succumb to substance abuse, eating disorders, plastic surgery, etc. with all the outrageous demands we (society) place on them.???
I think some people actually critique actors to harshly, I think most times its the movie that they dont like but they expect the actors to be able to entertain them through any situation or plot, so they blame the acting if theyre disappointed with the movie
I've often thought it'd be a great experiment to film a real-life situation unbeknown to the individuals being filmed, not actors but regular people living out a regular day, and then play it back for critics who love to harshly critique actors It'd be interesting to see if they STILL said it wasn't realistic enough or that it was bad acting when, in reality, it wasn't acting at all but real life.

I am watching this movie now and enjoying J-Lo in it, I like her understated simplicity. It's similar to her acting in Angel Eyes, which I liked much better, but in Angel Eyes she is stronger and takes control of her situation. Here she is burdened with her past and has a long struggle to regain her sense of self-worth. It's a pleasure to watch her again. Each to his own taste

I think it irks people that she is an awful actress, yet she continues to star in so many movies. Apparently she can get these parts because there are enough idiots willing to watch her "act". And "gonna" is not a real word.

In a movie headlining Redford & Freeman, just about anyone could hang on those coat tails. I do not like Jennifer Lopez, and don't think she has much talent. However, she was fairly good in this. The scene where Redford woke her up to discuss her bf, probably was the worst scene she's ever had in any movie.
I do think she stood tight in this movie and would watch it again.
I love Wyoming. My big bro once had a ranch there and it was heaven. -

I couldn't disagree more. What Lopez does as a performer in the music business and how the media portray her bears little resemblance to the kind of characters she's played in numerous films over the years.

I don't mind her acting. I find her watchable. I really liked Enough. It's just that she often mumbles or something, somewhat like Marlon Brando.
I liked JL in this. The little girl was supposed to look like her father and did resemble the picture. Hillary Swank would have also been a good choice for the role of the daughter in law. The daughter looked a bit like the pic of the man and HS.
