thesar-2 Since it's been a few weeks since I've seen this and I finally have a chance to sit down and write my thoughts out, I figured I would go to the movie's trailer online to refresh my memory. Because…I had completely forgotten everything about this lame comedy.When the trailer, itself, has zero humor, originality or any minute display of chemistry between the two romantic leads…it all comes back to someone that had to endure the morning sickness known as: The Back-up Plan.Yes, it all came back to me. I remember watching this overlong, been there/done that and clichéd romp and thinking: IS THIS A COMEDY? I recall not laughing one single time one hour in and then clocking zero laughs until the finale.I will be honest, I didn't absolutely hate this movie, but I recall having zero emotion during it. Every single scene in this movie has been done one million times before and with far greater results. I remember these leads looking so disinterested in each other they might as well hated each other off screen. I sure as hell did.In the almost nonexistent plot, gorgeous gal somehow can't find "the one," meaning she wants, above love and a relationship, someone to impregnate her. So, she gets artificially impregnated. Insert hilarious meeting the man of her dreams in which she will hit all the clichés: hate him up front, lose him, find him, argue with him, fall for him, the lie will be revealed, the break up, the make up, the end.Besides bringing zero to the table, these filmmakers/actors sins run deep with adding no comedy or romance to a romantic comedy.If you've ever learned how to turn a TV on or buy a movie ticket, you've seen this before. Avoid this at all costs.* * * Final thoughts: Nope. Not on my radar. Ever. But, thanks to the great guys (and gal) at the How Did This Get Made studios, I added this to my playlist so I can listen to them ridicule it for about an hour or so. It was worth it, if just for the ridiculing.

ja-191-280465 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.

weldertyson28 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.

sandra_bower68 I loved this film, it was funny sweet and easy to watch. Nobody gets killed no violence, a pleasant change. Both actors did great, leading man Alex (Hawaii Five-0) is gorgeous beyond words, loved the scene when she was driving to his farm and crashes because she cant take her eyes off him. There's a lot of bad reviews on here about this movie but I'm wondering what some people were actually expecting, its a real chick flick and def worth a watch (with female friends, leave the boyfriend and his pack to watch Saw/ Drag me to hell ) Yes the ending was a little predictable but whats wrong with that ? Like I said just a fun girlie movie with a completely gorgeous leading man(who can also act I might add) so don't be put off by all the bad reviews on here 10/10 hthbrr2 wow you're so intense, every movie you have reviewed on here has the same input. Seriously you need to chill out !
