Fun fact: the shoes thrown onto the power lines can mean someone died there, but often it is used to signify that drugs are sold there! The director likely showed the shoes to indirectly tell the audience that Marissa is living in a poor/low-income neighborhood. :)

[@four_girls_in_search_of_awesom]

That’s confusing. They should differentiate by shoe brand lol.

[@taylorgayhart9497]

*Technically* that’s a myth, and there has never been any proof gangs use shoes on power lines as a way to signal anything, because of the ambiguity. They have ways of communicating that are more specific, but we will never know what they are, because once anyone catches on they change it. The shoes on the power lines has been attributed to just people copying something they see someone else do, hence why you’ll often see multiple pairs on one line. *But* because this myth is so prevalent, it has been used in media like this to set the scene, which has only perpetrated the myth.

As a native New Yorker I can tell you that at high end stores and boutiques plenty of sales people, especially those who make commission, will assess you to see if you are “worth their time,” and if they think you aren’t going to spend a lot they will give you crappy service.

[@dgirl786]

Loved Natasha Richardson in this. Such a memorable character. 🧡

[@Quiteinfamous]

RIP😢

[@shanaedyer]

Rip to her. Gone too soon.

[@mitchellhp]

Loved this movie growing up, & one of the reasons was because of how sweet Tyler’s character is. It was wild knowing him from this & then seeing him in Teen Wolf all those years later 😆

[@regina_filange2.0]

When JLo's character is at the fancy department store, they typically work on commission. The clerk saw a Hispanic maid and decided it wasn't worth her time. What took it to the next level is ignoring everyone else too lol It's very rude, for sure. Glad you liked it😊

[@made-line7627]

So she wouldn't get commission by serving a Hispanic or "lower class" customer? Genuinely curious haha. Thankyou ☮️

[@Sapphire_Reacts]

​@@made-line7627she would still get commission its jjst that because she was Hispanic & a maid- that it wasnt worth her time

[@krose6451]

​@made-line7627 a commission is a percentage of the sale. She likely assumed the sale would be of such a small amount because a Hispanic maid wouldnt make much that her cut wasnt motivation enough to get off the phone and do her job. Where as if say a rich looking white woman had been there the chance at a big sale would have been.

[@made-line7627]

​@@Sapphire_ReactsThankyou 🙂

[@made-line7627]

​@krose6451 Aaah yep, that makes sense! Cheers 🌻

[@martymcflown3707]

"Never pushes beyond resistance" is a good way to put it. I always took his persistence as showing he cared and was willing to put forth the effort, and that he wasn't going to be one of those guys who tried to play it cool for the sake of not getting too invested. I actually really like the couple in this. They build on Ralph Fiennes being charming and a "dream guy" with his image, but then he shows in quiet moments how considerate he is with little Ty and how he listens to Marisa's advice at every turn.

[@lurategh]

These kinds of movies hit so different as an adult vs. as a kid. The nuances of classism, societal restrictions, service jobs etc…

[@linkinlady06]

I've seen movies like this dozens of times but it's always refreshing to see you guys reaction because it's nice to hear from a male point of view but also the realness with your deep insight and meaningful conversation I absolutely love it. Great reaction Stef and Sam ❤

[@themermaidmak]

Don't know yet if you guys mention it in the video, but JLo's son in this is played by Tyler Posey (Teen Wolf) & the manager lady Paula is played by Frances Conroy (America Horror Story. 😊 EDIT: 1:14:50 - There it is! 😂

[@themoviebud1988]

Yeah, I probably should have brought it up a bit earlier lol - Sam

Can I just say how fab you two look in this video? Bonus points to Stef for the glasses and jumper.

The French lady called him a pig/swine. My French is terrible but that one I know. Also I haven’t seen this movie in ages and when they were at the zoo and he said “we haven’t seen the snakes” my brain immediately went “fuck off voldemort with your snake obsession”.

If you're always up for more Cinderella stories I really think you should see Nickoloden's 'Rags'. That one has a male Cinderella 'Charlie' and it's such fun!

Ty knows that man's net worth. He smelled a hook up and made it happen 😂

[@everausten]

This movie is so solid! Fairytales are of course wonderful and I love them to bits. But the grounded romance is always my favourite. This is why Jane Austen is so important, because it's social commentary about balancing personal accountability, holding others accountable, economic prospects and personal compatibility. All couched in back to back sick burns. I'd recommend 1995 Sense and Sensibility, 1995 Persuasion, and 1995 Pride and Prejudice (it's a mini series though) for holding true to the social realism. 2005 P&P is gorgeous, but it's the fairytale version not the grounded version (and wonderful for it). The 1996 and 2020 Emma are both good fun too, and 2007 Northanger Abbey is a cute and wholesome coming of age ✨🌙✨

[@Disney65Fan]

Everytime this film is on TV I have to watch it even though I own it on DVD.

[@lotusbeexx]

I've actually never seen this movie before, but I'm about to buy it now! This was a great commentary, guys

[@stonks6936]

This is easily my favorite JLO movie because it felt the most real to me story wise!

[@alexanderdavidd]

Growing up in Canada i was always told that shoes on power lines meant there was a drug dealer in that area, and the brand of shoe meant how good his stuff was. If it was a walmart sneaker it was bad, but if it was an AF1 or a Superstar then the stuff was really good!

[@UGUNII]

2:43 Tyler Posey ❤❤ from teen wolf

[@symonew33]

11:19 most retail store workers are not like that but if you go into a high end store dressed a certain way, her character is wearing a maid uniform, they will treat you like you don’t exist. A lot of them get commission and if they don’t think you are going to be a high spender they won’t waste their time.

[@shamkand]

The one that made me laugh as a kid was Monster-in-Law. I did not see it in years, this one was ok.

Watching this film makes me a bit sad regarding Natasha Richardson. She and Ralph Fiennes were very good friends (not to mention she was married to another of his close friends, Liam Neeson), so the two of them sharing screen time is bittersweet.

I’m so used to Ralph Fiennes as some incarnation of a bigoted supremacist (Schindlers List, HP), that I struggle to buy him giving the time of day to a muggle. Even one who looks like J Lo

[@shamkand]

When she said "someone like you", she meant someone, smart, respectful, responable, someone that seems more committed... not necessarily the money, because before she had someone like her ex husband/boyfrient that was a loser, uncaring, irresponsible, unreliable. I thought she wanted to know how it would be to be with a person like him, that treats her right.
