New reports are indicating that Jennifer Lopez's latest big screen offering, The Boy Next Door, is so bad, that it ironically might have saved her career. Reports say that while the film is not getting good reviews, the "it's so-bad-it'-good" flick has somehow resuscitated Lopez's dwindling movie career.

According to The Daily Beast on Tuesday, movie critic Kevin Fallon calls the film "bad brilliant" but one worth watching as well, all thanks to Lopez's acting.

He wrote, "The film is out of its mind, replete with jokes about Jennifer Lopez's "cookies," a sex scene so long and confusingly choreographed that I became both aroused and intensely curious while watching it, a hyper-violent final act, Kristin Chenoweth with a sassy pixie cut doling out wry one-liners, and a line-reading of the words "J.K. Rowling" that will have you standing in applause at the audacity of Lopez's delivery of it."

What's more, Cohen also credits Lopez's good looks - and how she's never looked better - for being the other reason why audiences are flocking to see the film, which made an estimated $20 million during it's opening weekend.

He added, "Lopez's body has never looked better, and, now 45, she hasn't aged a day in 20 years. But the film flips the script by turning the dude into the sociopathic stalker. And while the film's epic sex scene provides ample glimpses at Lopez's famous derriere to gaze at, it's her co-star, Guzman, who is offered up on an over-sexualized platter, whose body is exploited in skin-baring scenes throughout the movie.

The Boy Next Door is out in theaters nationwide now.
