Great news: Jennifer Lopez finally has a follow-up to her extensive list of romantic comedies, which of course includes my personal favorite, the masterpiece, The Wedding Planner.

On Thursday, STX Entertainment unveiled the first trailer for Second Act, which stars J.Lo as a 40-something year-old woman who’s married to someone who looks a lot like Jack Pearson. (That’s because the husband is played by Milo Ventimiglia, who definitely, maybe filmed this at the same time as This Is Us, hence the Jack mustache, soft hair, and encouraging Jack voice that makes you tear up a little.)

The premise of Second Act is great: J.Lo plays someone who lands the interview and job of a lifetime when her BFF’s crafty son gives her a new online identity. The ultimate (fake) update includes everything from a photo with the Obamas to a degree from Wharton. It’s like Younger, but starring J.Lo. And instead of Hilary Duff, you get the equally talented Disney alum Vanessa Hudgens as the coworker who doesn’t know the truth. So fun!

J.Lo’s real-life BFF Leah Remini plays her onscreen BFF, which is perfect, because I could watch Leah put J.Lo in her place (and steal her corporate credit cards and coasters) forever. Look how much fun everyone had on set:

Second Act opens Nov. 21.
