Typical Rom-com
This was an okay movie to watch, not torturing in any way but not that great either. Okay if theres nothing else on. Only had maybe 3 LOL moments through the entire thing.

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.

Jennifer Lopez carries this thin concept about as far and as well as she can, with Alex O'Loughlin in his first leading-man outing managing not to get lost in the shuffle.

Good slapstick is actually an art -- unfortunately not one practiced here -- and bad slapstick is just tedious.

This tepid romantic comedy falls somewhere between a weak sitcom pilot and a second-tier Hallmark movie.

Disappointing romcom that has an original premise and some nice ideas but ultimately drowns them out with poor writing, irritating support characters, an overdose of sentimentality and a string of painfully unfunny gags.
