The Back-up Plan (2010)

I have read a ton of horrible reviews for this movie. Somehow I wanted to see it anyway. I have very mixed feelings about it, so I am not really sure how this is all going to go. I hated it, I laughed like crazy, I liked it, I was bored by it, I thought it was so unrealistic, I laughed some more. Eh...it was okay. I wanted to see this because a girl that went to my grade school is in it. Like more than just a person passing on the street, she actually has a few scenes. So it was the main reason I bothered with this 99 cent Amazon on Demand special. The good points: Jennifer Lopez is cute. I like her, I found her character appealing in lots of ways, and totally predictable in others. There were a few scenes though that had me laughing out loud. Anthony Anderson in a very small role had me laughing even after the movie was over...so there is that. Alex O'Loughlin though very adorable...did not appeal to me in this role. This story was so unrealistic and far fetched that it was hard to stomach, but at the same time...was a fresh and different take on the usual romantic comedy type of thing. The parts that were funny, were really really funny, and the rest of it was just okay for me. The story for those that don't know...is that Jennifer Lopez plays a single girl who decides to have a baby on her own. The very same day that she is artificially inseminated, she meets a great guy when they both get into the same cab. she gets pregnant and they start a relationship. It has moments when I see something special, and I think I can almost recommend this based on those few moments....but other times I think...most people I know probably aren't going to like this. Bubba and I had a few laughs together so it was all worth it to me.
