(Jennifer Lopez)
M-Net (channel 101) will air Second Act tomorrow (December 29) at 20h05.
It's street smarts versus book smarts in this Jennifer Lopez
comedy. When a 40-year-old box packer gets an opportunity to work on Madison
Avenue, she uses the chance to prove herself.
Second Act is a
2018 American romantic comedy film directed by Peter Segal and written by
Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas and Justin Zackham. It stars Jennifer Lopez, Leah Remini,
Vanessa Hudgens, Treat Williams and Milo Ventimiglia, and follows a woman in
her 40s who pursues a second chance at a corporate career, after a friend
creates her a fake resume and credentials. The film was released in the United
States on December 21, 2018. It received mixed reviews from critics and grossed
over $72 million worldwide.
Maya Vargas (Jennifer Lopez) is the assistant manager of the
Value Shop store she has worked at for the past 15 years. During that time she
dramatically improved sales, customer relations, and general store culture
through her intuitive and innovative methods. She awaits a store visit by an
executive of her company, Mr. Weiskopf, anxiously hoping to be promoted to
manager. Her boyfriend Trey (Milo Ventimiglia), co-workers, and several regular
customers all assure Maya she’s guaranteed the promotion, but instead she’s
passed up in favour of Arthur (Dan Bucatinsky), a non-local company employee
with an MBA from Duke. Mr. Weiskopf explains that while he values Maya’s
dedication and success, she only has a GED and no college degree, which makes
her ineligible for the promotion by company policy. Maya is bitterly disappointed
but reluctantly agrees to stay on as Arthur's second-in-command at the store.
