If you can still quote lines from Maid in Manhattan, then we think we might just have the key to your new obsession. Second Act is Jennifer Lopez's latest movie, directed by Peter Segal, and it tells the story of a big-box store worker who dreams of making it on Madison Avenue and may just be able to make it happen — with the help of a little deception.
