the first time that a critical failure has been a box office winner.
The two do not go hand in hand.
But having said that, the ypes of critisism that have come out about it have almost made it impossible for this movie to succeed.
A movie of this type is relying on the drawing power of it';s stars. And lets face it, wether you like J-Lo or hate J-lo, she is a draw. As is Mr. Affleck.
But people are also swayed but what they are told, in so much as that is what they know. People have to make a decision based on the info they have. No matter what people say about that one line, that line is now gonna be what people think about when they look at this movie.
Do you like it or find it funny, then you'll go. If you hate the line you'll stay home. I don't think it matters what others say about that, it only will matter wether or not people like the line.
It is unfortunite that the movie has pretty much been reduced to one line though.
