Emmy winner Jharrel Jerome, 26, stars as the determined athlete. Lopez plays his hardworking mother Judy.
Lopez introduced the woman she portrayed at the screening, calling her ‘a woman that poured her heart, soul, and her blood, literally, into her children, teaching them that nothing is more important than family,’ according to Entertainment Weekly.
