[NEWS] Battle in the Box Office 'Mother's Day' vs. 'Zoolander 2'

Both Jennifer and her husband Justin had films released in theaters this year. She lead the all-star cast in Gary Marshall's holiday film 'Mother's Day', and he served as screenwriter and reprized his cameo appearance as the evil disc jokey in comedy sequel 'Zoolander 2'.

'Zoolander 2' was one of the most anticipated films in box office grossing $13,841,146 in its opening weekend. Meanwhile, 'Mother's Day' grossed a mere $8,369,184 its opening weekend in comparison. However, neither film received 'favorable' reviews from critics. A critic consensus for 'Mother's Day' states: "Arguably well-intended yet thoroughly misguided, 'Mother's Day' is the cinematic equivalent of a last-minute gift that only underscores its embarrassing lack of effort." A critic consensus for 'Zoolander 2' states: 'Zoolander 2' has more celebrity cameos than laughs - and its meager handful of memorable gags outnumbers the few worthwhile ideas discernible in its scattershot rehash of a script."

Jennifer was able to accompany Justin to his red carpet world premiere for his film, but when it came her time for her world premiere at the TCL Chinese IMAX theater in Hollywood, California the actress appeared solo on the red carpet. 'Zoolander 2' is available on Bluray + DVD as well as Digital Download on May 24, 2016.
