Chronicles the highly scrutinised love life of actor and singer Jennifer Lopez, including her relationships and personal healing journey.
This Is Me Now or This Is Me Now: A Love Story is directed by Dave Meyers director of Foolish (1999) and believe it or not The Hitcher (2007). The film is based on Jennifer Lopez's ninth album of the same name.
This Is Me Now is bonkers and I honestly have to give Jennifer Lopez some credit here, it's not everyday you see Fat Joe playing a therapist, a bunch of celebrities such as Post Malone, Kim Petras, Trevor Noah, Keke Palmer, Jane Fonda, Neil deGrasse Tyson and a few others playing zodiac signs and dub themselves as "the Zodiacal Council" and some of the most unintentional hilariously bad voiceover narration you could imagine.
Having that said the movie is pretty much a 65 minute collection of the songs from Lopez's new album with a plot that is vaguely a story. From what I could gather is about Lopez's love life but then quickly goes into madness once zodiac signs get involved. The whole music video portion of the movie is about what you expect, sure some of the songs are great but the music video portion of it is bland and not particularly memorable.
I absolutely respect what Jennifer Lopez is going for here, making a very unconventional approach to music films like this, however it becomes way too silly and at times a bit self indulgent like it's trying to say something meaningful. I'm sure this meant something to Jennifer Lopez as a way to show how her personal love life has gotten better over the years. But everyone else watching I'm not exactly sure if they can really feel the same way.
With that said This Is Me Now is very bizarre and I actually do recommend giving this one watch, it's the perfect movie to gather a group of friends together and truly witness how off the rails this gets.
The is Me Now is available on Amazon Prime Video.
