Second Act is a 2018 romantic comedy film directed by Peter Segal and starring Jennifer Lopez as Maya Vargas, a talented, hardworking 40-year-old who has never had the opportunity to fully capitalize on her potential due to lack of education and experience. Frustrated by her dead-end job at a big-box store and feeling unfulfilled in her personal life, Maya is given the chance to prove herself when a friend's son forges her credentials for a high-paying corporate job in New York City.
Despite feeling out of her depth, Maya uses her street smarts and quick thinking to impress her new boss, the demanding and arrogant Zoe (Vanessa Hudgens), and her colleagues at the high-end beauty firm. But when her lies catch up with her and she is forced to confront the consequences of her actions, Maya realizes that her true value lies not in her resume or qualifications, but in her integrity and authenticity.
As Maya navigates the tricky waters of corporate politics, she also must juggle her relationships with her best friend Joan (Leah Remini), her longtime boyfriend Trey (Milo Ventimiglia), and her estranged adult daughter Nina (Annaleigh Ashford). Along the way, Maya learns valuable lessons about the importance of self-discovery, forgiveness, and the second chances that come with embracing your true self.
With a strong message about the value of honesty, resilience, and the power of female friendship, Second Act is a heartwarming and empowering film that will inspire viewers to pursue their dreams and never give up on themselves.
