What Happens in the ‘This Is Me … Now: A Love Story’ Trailer?
The dramatic trailer cuts to multiple scenes of the film, from music video shoots to line-driving moments.
J. Lo narrated over the sneak peek that featured a wedding ceremony dance number, a motorcycle crash and passionate PDA scene.
“I know what they say about me… about hopeless romantics,” she said, adding, “…that we’re weak. And I’m not weak.”
The trailer then cut to different moments of J. Lo with different men who were seemingly different love interests before she continued, “Not all love stories have a happy ending.”
In between the madness, Fat Joe, who portrays Jennifer’s therapist, ends a weekly session before she walks into an intervention as her friends worry she is a “sex addict.”
The Dancing With the Stars judge plays one of Jennifer’s three onscreen husbands and the rise and fall of their marriage gets ugly.
“Being with you feels like home – and I left home for a reason,” Jennifer narrates while clips of her figuratively and literally flashed on the screen.
