Released in December 2018, Second Chance(Second Act in the original version) is a romantic comedy directed by Peter Segal. The film stars Jennifer Lopez as Maya Vargas, a forty-year-old woman struggling to prove that experience and passion can be just as important as degrees in the professional world. This charming comedy, full of twists and turns, is about reinventing yourself and finding a second chance in a world obsessed with appearances. Second Chance will be available on Prime Video from October 1, 2024, an ideal opportunity to enjoy an inspiring feel-good movie.
Maya Vargas(Jennifer Lopez) has been working for years in a local supermarket, where she was hoping to land a major promotion. But, despite her experience and dedication, she is denied the position in favor of a more highly qualified candidate. Frustrated and disappointed, Maya decides to resign to seek better opportunities elsewhere.
Unbeknownst to her, the son of her best friend Joan (Leah Remini) has doctored her CV and created a fictitious professional identity for her, complete with prestigious diplomas and impressive recommendations. Thanks to this fake CV, Maya lands a dream job at a major cosmetics company in Manhattan. Thrust into a professional world with codes she hasn't mastered, she has to rely on her charisma, resourcefulness and life experience to make her mark.
Between new responsibilities, intimidating colleagues and unexpected discoveries, Maya will discover that second chances can also come with unexpected challenges. She'll also face moral dilemmas when she realizes that her lies may be catching up with her.
Second Chance will appeal not only to fans of light, inspiring romantic comedies, but also to those who enjoy tales of personal reinvention. The film offers a motivating message about never giving up on your dreams, even after setbacks or in the face of age or qualification prejudice. Jennifer Lopez, in the role of Maya, plays an engaging and determined heroine, who proves that perseverance and emotional intelligence can open unexpected doors.
Audiences who enjoyed films such as The Devil Wears Prada or The Comeback will also appreciate Second Chance, which explores the world of work with humor and sincerity, while tackling universal themes such as the importance of experience and self-confidence.
Available on Prime Video from October 1, 2024, Second Chance is a refreshing romantic comedy driven by Jennifer Lopez's charismatic performance.
