In Theaters: **^ Second Act (2018)

***^ Second Act  (2018)  This movie stars Jennifer Lopez as a successful assistant manager at a store, but gets overlooked for a promotion because she does not have a college degree.  Her friends son creates a new persona for her, with diploma and history using the internet, and she is offered a position at a prestigious company.  She takes the job after being humiliated by her new boss.  And so begins a life of deceit.  She takes a task to develop a new line of cosmetic which is more “green.” Against the boss’ daughter who is just revamping the old line.  During the competition, it is discovered that the daughter (Vanessa Hudgens) is actually her own biological daughter she gave up for adoption many years ago.  She forms a quick relationship; but how will it survive when it becomes clear that her education and resume is all fraud.  This movie is actually very good but it is their playing light of the use of cuss words that keeps me from giving it higher marks.  If you are trying to keep your kids from cussing don’t take them to this movie.
