Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Jennifer Lopez stars in yet another one of her sappy, romantic comedies as a love lorn woman desperate for true love. She's a successful business woman who becomes pregnant with twins through artificial insemination. Of course, none of this would make any sense if she didn't meet the man of her dreams (Alex O'Laughlin) who practically falls head over heels after their first encounter. After a wild night of passion, Zoe admits that she has not one, but two buns in the oven and despite the big surprise, Stan decides to pursue a relationship with her anyway. Really????! Overall, Stan and Zoe deal with a few bumps in the road, followed by major insecurities, especially Zoe due to her lack of trust and inability to develop a close connection with anyone. Now let's be serious, There is absolutely nothing new or surprising about this movie. It's your usual boy meets girl storyline which reminds you of how impossible it is to take something that's far from mediocre so seriously. "The Back-up Plan" is a decent movie to watch if you can't help shutting your brain off for more than 45 minutes.

I wish Kate Hudson took the lead on this. Jennifer lopez did okay but throughout the whole film I kept waiting for kate to be there....anyway the chemistry between these two leads was way off. The story was kind of awful. Oloughlins character was such a jerk through out the film. In reality no one would've put up with that esp not an independent pregnant girl. I wanted to slap him. The time frame for which there relationship progressed was unrealistic. I hated that he complained and panicked through the whole thing, yet she never made him stay. He acted like he didn't have a choice. And what was with the dog who couldn't walk but was very expressionative? Seen it before. Didn't really phase me in this one. Save your time.

I don't get it why people so undermine this movie. It was indeed predictable most of the time but come on, there were many moment of laughter.I saw this movie with an ex girlfriend and we were seeing many moments we had on our first dates and we enjoyed to see it was inspired from real facts. Many of the comical situations do happen in real life and it really gets to you when you see it from outside.The main plot may be a little exaggerated, how everything comes together but it's a classic date movie and you cannot have such high expectations from it.The cast is OK, even though Jennifer Lopez is a little overpowered by her role, but she manages in the end to pull it of. Alex O'Loughlin is the perfect "I don't know if I want to be a father but I love this woman" guy and makes every moment a real delight.Everyone gives it a 4 or 5, I give it an 8 because you can have a blast if you watch it with your girlfriend or ex.

This was J-Lo's first movie in quite a few years. That's because she can't act and can't carry a movie. She's so famous for showing up to awards shows in all these sexy outfits and waring a ton of makeup, she just isn't believable as a loser in love middle age pet store owner. Now, I liked Alex O'Loughlin as Stan, but he didn't have much chemistry with Zoe,played by Lopez. It was rather annoying how Zoe just expected Stan to be OK with her pregnancy after lying to him about it for several weeks. Then she wants to just shack up with him. And it wasn't very funny. I just don't see 2 40 year olds getting in a water fight after setting the table on fire. It just seemed like what younger people would do.FINAL VERDICT: I wouldn't pay to see it.
