All Jennifer Lopez Movies Ranked
Before 2019’s Hustlers, Lopez hadn’t had a Fresh movie since 1998, though her 21st century filmography still includes commercial hits (The Wedding Planner, Monster-in-Law, The Boy Next Door) among notorious bombs like Gigli. And The Cell certainly has its fans.
In recent years, Hustlers joined the ranks of her other star-making hits like Out of Sight and Selena, and Lopez returned to rom-coms with the traditional Marry Me, and then Shotgun Wedding, which was Die Hard with a matrimonial vengeance. In 2024, she released the genre-bending This Is Me…Now: A Love Story, in conjunction with her first album in a decade.
