The Back-up Plan

I laughed hysterically, but in the interest of balanced reporting, I should add that the guy parked next to me at the screening - a boyfriend who was there under duress - emitted a series of low guttural noises suggesting profound psychological anguish.

Even at its worst moments, it's better than "awful." But at its best, it's never comes close to "incredible."

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.

It's not as if every funny movie has to offer something in the way of social commentary or greater insight. Sometimes funny is just funny. Sometimes, as is too often the case here, it's not.

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.

Part unfunny sitcom, part post-"Gigli" career resurrection strategy, and all bad.

Surprisingly good movie. Very funny as well. I usually hate romance movies, but this one was ok.

Alex O'Loughlin is a wonderful actor, but even he can't overcome the horrendous writing and direction in this turkey. I watched it anyway, which is why I got to see one of the most unfunny birthing scenes in the history of film.

Occasionally cute, but not very funny. A pretty typical Jlo movie, something to watch at home, on a Wednesday evening. I must admit though, there is something hypnotizing about Jennifer Lopez. I actually watched the entire movie even though it was insanely predictable and cliche.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

JLo is an arrogant and deplorable woman who doesn't know what quality and talent is. His works are hideous and dark.
