The Back-up Plan | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Lopez could have chosen a better comeback project than The Back-up Plan. Despite her best efforts, this romantic comedy is pretty dreadful, with a silly sitcom-like plot that even Lopez can't overcome.

But by the time 104 minutes of off-putting pregnancy dramas are up, you may wonder if the film's goal isn't so much about entertainment as population control.

Just as in sitcoms, every conflict and resolution often takes place here within the very same scene.

The Back-Up Plan has all of the cliches of a bad rom com, but it's not enough to fall into that formula. It also tries to be a raunch fest

Has an intriguing concept, but with tired jokes, dumb characters and uninspired direction, the execution is botched all around making for a perfect example of all that's bad with the romantic comedy genre.
