About This Is Me… Now: A Love Story Movie:
This Is Me… Now: A Love Story is a romantic musical drama film based on Jennifer Lopez’s ninth studio album, This Is Me… Now (2024). Directed by Dave Meyers, and written by Lopez and Matt Walton, based on the story Lopez, Meyers and Chris Shafer conceived. It stars Lopez alongside an ensemble cast featuring Jane Fonda, Fat Joe, Kim Petras, Keke Palmer, Post Malone, Sofía Vergara, Jenifer Lewis, Jay Shetty, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Sadhguru, Derek Hough, Trevor Noah and Ben Affleck.
Additionally serving as a visual album, This Is Me… Now: A Love Story is stylized around a fictional narrative loosely based on Lopez’s marriage to Affleck and her trials as a “serial romantic”. The film is a component of a three-part multimedia project produced by Lopez about her publicly scrutinized love life; she also financed the project for $20 million, despite concerns from her team.
The official trailer for This Is Me… Now: A Love Story was released on January 17, 2024, and sparked a polarizing media discourse; some journalists felt “confused” by the plot, while others commended its unconventional approach to musical films.
The film premiered at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on February 12, 2024, and was released worldwide alongside its parent album on February 16 via Amazon Prime Video. It received positive reviews from critics, most of whom admired the production design, cinematography, Lopez’s performance, and the film’s “chaotic” ambition, although some found it to be nothing more than a commercial for its companion album.
Upon release, the film reached the number-one spot on Amazon Prime Video in numerous countries such as the United States, Belize, Cambodia, Georgia, Jordan, Latvia, and Tanzania. It appeared in the Top 10 list in over 30 countries.
