According to Us Weekly on Tuesday, Spears gave Lopez props on Twitter after seeing the movie for herself.

Even though Lopez herself has been on a roll lately, the Latina beauty admits that she's had her fair share of ups and downs as well, recalling a time in her life when she felt like she was "falling apart."

In an interview with HuffPost Live (via ABC News) this week, Lopez said that the worst time of her life was when she made the movie Gigli in 2003 with her then-fiance Ben Affleck.

She said, "I think the worst, lowest point was the whole 'Gigli' era. It was very tough."

Lopez said that all the bad press she was getting for the film along with the attention she had for dating Affleck at the time definitely took a toll on her.

She said, "It was a very badly reviewed film. I was in a high-profile relationship at the time that fell apart in a really bad way, and so the kind of mix of those two things - the tabloid press had just come into existence at the time, so I was like a poster child for that moment."
