The Back-up Plan A; Comedy/Romance Dir: Alan Poul Cast: Jennifer Lopez, Alex O'Loughlin, Eric Christian Olsen *u00a0 <img alt="" src="/imagedata/2010/may/Backup.jpg" border="5" /> What's it about: The title of this film resonates with what the people making it must be thinking. First it talks about Jennifer Lopez's current standing in the industry. After making babies with Marc Anthony and putting the Jenny from the block days behind, JLo is in a desperate need of a backup plan to give her some street credit. Also the script is so bad that it definitely must be a third or fourth back up plan after the producers rejected the initial draft. So Lopez plays Zoe a pet store owner who's single and inseminated. That's an odd combination, but it doesn't stop her from meeting Stan (Alex O'Loughlin) as they both try to get into the same cab. Along the way, between attending crazy single mom club meetings and running errands, Zoe manages to start liking Stan. But explaining him about her situation doesn't come easy. Soon her tummy starts showing and so do the glaring potholes in the hackneyed plot. u00a0 What's hot: Despite how good the botox's worked out for her, there are moments where you can see the real JLo through layers of serum treatments.u00a0 There's no denying that the woman has the easy personality to charm anyone off. She might not be easy on the eyes like before but there's no denying the sparkle in her eyes.u00a0 u00a0 What's not: There are so many 'been there seen that' moments that if you keep a count you might end up with a double digit number. It's not a good sign for a romantic comedy when the jokes come in the way of the guy asking the girl, "Do you want to taste my cheese?", or when a dog eats up a pregnancy test, or when a three-year-old is shown breast feeding on a single mom. Neither of this is funny. Offensive? Yes! Alex looks really young, making Lopez like the queen of Cougar Town. Not once do you feel the two have anything going on. Both act out their parts as if performing in front of a green screen with the other person missing. When the first 15 minutes give you a bad feeling of what's to come, there isn't much one can salvage.u00a0u00a0 u00a0 What to do: Make this a back- up plan if anything better isn't playing at a theatre near you.
