I actually thought this film wasn't bad. It wasn't a masterpiece, but then again I don't think it ever had aspirations to be.
J-Lo does a good job to pull off her role nicely - although in the beginning I couldn't help but think 'Oh look - it's Jennifer Lopez, prime diva, pretending to be poor'.
Even more amazingly is that Mr Pretentious - step forward Ralph 'it's pronounced Rafe' Fiennes - does a good job in making his role believable.
With a good supporting cast this film trundles along nicely. It's never going to change your life but not bad for whiling away a boring afternoon if you've nothing better to do.

Surprisingly OK
Cute fluff
Is it perfect? No. But it's a wonderfully light and fluffy Cinderella story romcom. The characters are well cast and well acted and the leads have chemistry. Though predictable it's a fun concept and good execution.
