Romantic-comedy pairing Jennifer Lopez and Australian rising-star Alex O'Loughlin, from the director of TV's Six Feet Under and Big Love.
After years of dating, Zoe (Lopez) has decided waiting for Mr Right is taking too long. Determined to become a mother, she commits to a plan, makes an appointment and decides to go it alone. But on the day of her artificial insemination, Zoe meets Stan (O'Loughlin) – a man who could be the man.
Includes a water birth scene said to do for paddling pools what Jaws did for swimming in the ocean.
This was an okay movie to watch, not torturing in any way but not that great either. Okay if theres nothing else on. Only had maybe 3 LOL moments through the entire thing.
Poor JLo.....I saw this in USA months ago....and was wondering what had happened to it! Its not to bad! Its annoying in parts but its okay. The dog is annoying...and so is the silly storyline. But its okay if youre bored. Jlo is okay in it and the hottie newcomer Alex....is good in his shirtless scenes!....Fun and okay!
I heard this movie ahs gone straight to DVD in NZ.
Some movies are no better than second-rate sitcoms. Other movies are no better than third-rate sitcoms. The Back-up Plan doesn't deserve comparison with sitcoms. It plays like an unendurable TV commercial about beautiful people with great lifestyles and not a thought in their empty little heads.
Jennifer Lopez carries this thin concept about as far and as well as she can, with Alex O'Loughlin in his first leading-man outing managing not to get lost in the shuffle.
Good slapstick is actually an art -- unfortunately not one practiced here -- and bad slapstick is just tedious.
A not very good and yet painless waste of time.
This tepid romantic comedy falls somewhere between a weak sitcom pilot and a second-tier Hallmark movie.
We've been told the NZ release date for this flick is Tuesday, 4th May 2010.
Release date: May 4th 2010.
