Let me start by saying that I like Jennifer Lopez. She’s great at a lot of things. She sings well, she dances really well, she’s charming and kind on American Idol, and I have really enjoyed a number of her movies, albeit guiltily.

However, although she plays a classics professor in “The Boy Next Door,”  dear J. Lo’s grasp of the classics is not her strong suit. Nor is it the strong suit of the screenwriter. Or the director. Or any of the other actors. Or anyone on the crew. Let’s just assume not one of them cracked a book in high school literature class. Or history class.

Here’s the most hilariously WTF movie moment I’ve seen in a long, looong time (and I have seen some real dogs, let me tell you).

P.S. There’s a personal story that explains why this tickles me so much, but it would be unkind to tell it here. Suffice to say we’ve heard this before.
