The Back-Up Plan


Hey, sorry that it's been awhile since my last post--there's just been a lot going on lately. But, nonetheless, I have still been keeping up with my movie-watching. The most recent being the one named above. It stars Jennifer Lopez as Zoe, who can't find the right man for her, but she wants to start a family anyway--so she decides to get artificially inseminated. Later that day she meets Stan (Alex O'Laughlin) whom she falls for. However, she is afraid to tell him that she is pregnant in fear that he will leave her.

Though this film is EXTREMELY predictable, it does not fail to bring the occasional rom-com smile-scenes. But honestly, there were a lot of really uncomfortable parts throughout the film, and Lopez doesn't do the greatest job acting. O'Laughlin's performance, however, was the highlight of the film (along with the refreshing appearance of Tom Bosley). The film was funny at parts, but mundane in general. I think that I'm going to end up giving this movie a better grade than I should give it just because the ending was well-tied-together (but that's how most predictable movies are).

Overall Grade: C+

  1. This movie looks so funny and interesting, I have only seen the trailers. Jennifer Lopez turns me on as the generic viagra pills.
