Zoe (Jennifer Lopez) conceives twins through artificial insemination on the same day she meets Stan (Alex O'Loughlin) her dream guy who sticks by her in her pregnancy.
Now although I hate J-Lo's music, she's a surprisingly good actress who always seems to bring genuinity to her roles. I thought the pairing between her and O'Loughlin was actually a perfect comedic match and although this plot line is completely predictable, the script is so well written and funny and charming that you can forgive the fact that there are no surprises. The leads really are a great duo as Zoe and Stan but I think its the supporting cast that make the movie truly funny, actors like Melissa McCarthy, Michaela Watkins, Eric Christian Olsen and Anthony Anderson. Even though The Back-up Plan is a waddling pregnant cliche that lacks originality and believability I couldn't stop laughing at the ridiculousness of it all.
