The Wedding Planner! Maid in Manhattan! Monster-in-Law! Other titles!

And frankly, Lopez realizes it’s been way too long since the rom-com had a much-needed renaissance. “We pushed this one through. I think people need them! We miss them!†she explained on The Tonight Show. “They’re fun. You need that funny, quirky look at life sometimes — that romantic look at life. I think things are tough sometimes, and we need that escape.†You think she’s seen Set It Up?
