    I had barely cycled through my Usher-Beyoncé-Taylor induced pop culture hangover from the Super Bowl when it was time to receive the latest offering from yet another omnipresent star, Jennifer Lopez.

    The 65-minute film follows the tortured love life of a somewhat fictional version of, but with the silliness of Mariah Carey's and the subtlety of the music video for Kanye West's "Bound 2".
