Of course but you get to see Jennifer Lopez dance, sing and go from one fabulous outfit to another and as I said above "it's funny and romantic and though you know where it is going what more do you want from a romantic comedy?" Well the 'more' is JLO with this salute to rom/coms

5) "Emergency"--Prime--1 hour & 45 minutes--Synopsis: ready for a night of legendary partying, 3 Black college students must weigh the pros and cons of calling the police when faced with an unexpected situation--at the beginning it starts off with a heavy scene in a class where a White lady professor is discussing the 'N' word and for the next hour and 20 minutes you know what is going to happen before it happens--the last 20 minutes makes it worthwhile to watch the whole movie--will it end in the hospital? Prison? The cemetery? Life doesn't always reflect a Hollywood movie!
