This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

hyped garbage

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

The Back-Up Plan (2010): Dir: Alan Poul / Cast: Jennifer Lopez, Alex O'Loughlin, Michaela Watkins, Eric Christian Olsen, Danneel Harris: A perfect back-up plan is to avoid this film altogether and watch Date Night instead. It regards forced change as Jennifer Lopez becomes weary of her dating life and decides to have the sperm donated and inserted. Then comes the lamest romantic encounter in history as Lopez and Alex O'Loughlin end up in the same cab where they spat, then she ends up at Farmers Market where he sells cheese, then he stalks her at her pet store. They fall in love too and its enough to make a person upchuck in their shorts. Is there anything in this pitiful garbage that hasn't been done in every other romantic bullshit? Director Alan Poul doesn't seem to have any handle on the humour or the relationships because neither blend successfully here. Lopez has played many stupid roles in her career but this one ranks as one of her most nit-witted characters. She manages to crash her car into a tree because she gets starry eyed. Her back-up plan should be to seek therapy after playing someone this unsympathetic. O'Loughlin starts out as this guy who takes nothing serious to being this suddenly responsible guy when he realizes that Lopez is pregnant with twins. It is like a personality switch midway. Supporting roles are characters who act like total morons and show up when the plot conveniently needs them. Locations bear some invention particularly the cheese place but in the end the best back-up plan for this light weight mess is to abort it with lighter fluid and a match. Score: 2 / 10

one of so many romantic movies. same recipes, same ingredients and old spices. nothing new, nothing seductive, nothing surprising. except the poor Nuts. short, another film with Jennifer Lopez. not inspired dialogs, crazy situations, large isles of chaos and unrealistic situations, sketches/exercises of acting and a precise public. the only sin is the absence of romanticism. it is a series product and the humor, who must saves the bad moments is far to be the best. result - a mediocre comedy about a meeting, children and a lot of clichés. nothing surprising. only bad part is the expectation . and the hope to be more than another mediocre movie. but it is a solution - the old fashion classic romantic films. not exactly as alternative. maybe as cure.

There is nothing redeeming about this movie. There is zero chemistry between the leads. (How could they make Alex O'Loughin look more dweebish than sexy?) The story is completely unrealistic. And I don't know how Lopez can vomit so much and yet keep her fake caterpillar eyelashes (and surrounding makeup)intact. Not only did I not laugh once, I didn't even break a smile. I can't believe any serious actor would sign up to do this movie. I felt sorry for the stunt dog that they stuck into the "cart like" thing, and feel sorry in general to poor cast that had to watch the lames scenes shot over and over. They probably wanted to quit. Poorly written. Mediocre acting. No heat. No laughter. No fun. Just horrible.

This movie was really bad! SPOILERS after this point: J.Lo is playing a woman that makes no sense, first off. She can't trust anyone. So how does she run her own business? Doesn't she have to trust her co-workers? What about every other thing in life? I guess she has no business with anyone, since she can't trust them! She can't eat at restaurants since she can't trust that they will get her order right. Yet she does all things a normal person does.If she was abnormal I would believe this plot. But since she has a job, has friends, social life, is happy, etc.... I just can't take that she has a severe mental problem of JUST not trusting guys. The story was that her father left her mother. And that you can't trust/rely on anyone. Sooooooo that means she has to be 110% crazy! She should be in a mental facility! Also the fact that this guy has this much patience makes no sense. I guess he is a non-existent person like Zoe! The water birth scene, among others, was JUST DISGUSTING! NOT funny or sense making, BUT JUST DISGUSTING.I am ashamed that I watched this movie!
