Jennifer Lopez is taking Kiss of the Spiderwoman to the big screen. Kiss is based on the Tony-winning Broadway musical, which was based on the Oscar-winning movie, which was based on the book.
Dreamgirls and Beauty and the Beast director Bill Condon returns to the movie musical in this dazzling Technicolor-hued fantasy. ValentÃn (Diego Luna), a political prisoner, shares a cell with Molina (Tonatiuh), a window dresser convicted of public indecency. The two form an unlikely bond as Molina recounts the plot of a Hollywood musical starring his favorite silver screen diva, Ingrid Luna (Jennifer Lopez).
I know this is J-Lo’s dream role. I remember seeing Chita Rivera starring in it on Broadway, and my mom and I were so bored. It was one of the worst musicals I saw on the Great White Way, which is what the Oscar voters like. But will it be enough to get her a nom? Hopefully not because Cynthia Erivo deserves it. Unlike Lopez, she can sing. Didn’t Lopez realize that we can hear her true singing voice in the movie, and it is as bad as she looks as a blonde?
