Jennifer Lopez stars as Zoe, a single New Yorker who dreams about meeting Mr. Right, having a baby and living happily ever after. But after a string of Mr. Wrongs, Zoe commits to her back-up plan: to take on motherhood alone. Zoe's plan proves far from foolproof when moments after her procedure she's swept up into a whirlwind romance with Stan (Alex O'Loughlin), the man of her dreams. Can Zoe hide her pregnancy until Stan is ready for the truth? Or will the truth send him packing? The Back-Up Plan is a hilarious romantic comedy about courtship, love, marriage and parenthood - but not necessarily in that order! Review: Love it!! - I love the backup plan, i watched it once when it was on sky and loved it then. I know that this film has had some bed reviews especially about the awkwardness of it, but personally i think that gives it its charm. J-Lo i think in this is funny and entertaining and really portrays her character well. Alex O'Loughlin (Stan) is very nice, i first came across him in the hit tv show HAWAII 5-0 (something else i recommend highly) and in this he played it well, its clear that the characters have a connection and the fact that he's a bit of a dick makes it funny and entertaining, definitely NOT a waste of money. Review: Great movie - I wasn't sure about this film, I like Jennifer Lopez but didn't really know much about Alex O'Loughlin then I saw him in the updated Hawaii Five-O and was hooked. It is one of the best films I have watched in ages I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. Besides telling a story it was so funny I laughed most of the way through. Both actors did a great job and it was nice to watch a great film without the usual profanity, I hope they make a Back-Up Plan II really soon. I highly recommend.

WOW
I love this film. Big fan of Jennifer and even bigger fan of Alex. It is funny, romantic and sad but always manages to cheer me up when feeling a bit down. Love the film. Well worth the money.

being a favourite from my latest craze Hawaii Five-O
I bought the movie to watch after seeing it starred Alex O'Loughlin, being a favourite from my latest craze Hawaii Five-O. It's a really lovely film with a bit of a comedic side but definitely a chick flick. One I'll definitely watch again!!

Funny
Comedy timing great between two people. Jennifer Lopez is very experience in this genre but Alex is very good. Scenes between them are quite hilarious. Thoroughly enjoyed the film.

Not Good Unfortunately
It has been a real struggle for me to write a review about this movie. It's the first time that I have bought a DVD without seeing the film first and I wish I hadn't. I like 'good' rom coms but this does not, unfortunately, fall into that category. The storyline is ridiculously far fetched and the script is worse in that it seriously insults the act of giving birth in one truly awful scene. Jlo's acting talent - so ably displayed in "Maid in Manhattan" is absent here and Alex O'Loughlin appears to be using his considerable talent to carry her for most of the movie. The three stars are for the excellent photography, locations and for the three scenes which are worth watching.

The Back-Up Plan
I was really looking forward to seeing Alex O'Loughin again in a film and I wasn't disappointed by The Back-Up Plan. The pairing of Jennifer Lopez and Alex was an excellent idea. They had chemistry and that above everything was what made the movie successful. The story was good, I think there were only a couple of things that bothered me about the movie. The beginning with the credits was too long and a cartoon.... wasn't appealing to me and the birth scene was also too long. Other than that the story was beautifully done. I was actually at the premiere in LA and have seen the movie several times at the theatre. I guess you can tell I loved the movie. I'm happy to purchase the DVD for home from Amazon because they have it before anyone else.

Sweet and funny
One of my favorite rom-coms. The quality of the dvd is great. No issues whatsoever. Jennifer Lopez comes off as the girl next door you want to be friends with. And Melissa McCarthy is absolutely hilarious!!!

Adorable Chick Flick!
Jennifer Lopez is hilarious. She has you hooked from the very beginning as she is looking down at the chipped polish on her toes!! Alex O'Loughlin is positively dreamy! Their chemistry is fantastic! And the doctor is just a riot! A must watch over, and over again! The behind the scenes for this movie are great too!
