The premise was novel enough that I found it sweet and charming.
Lopez does a fine job mortifying herself in pursuit of physical humor.
It's no big surprise that Lopez can still get laughs; she has a relaxed way with the camera that has mellowed and ripened over the years.
To prep for The Back-up Plan, shed all notions of how grown-ups behave in the real world.
Someone involved in the making of The Back-Up Plan, a not very good and yet painless waste of time, has certainly thought through some life and love questions.
Yes, you will get to see Lopez eat chili with her bare hands, but that's only half as disgusting as a close-up on a pregnancy test sinking into a pile of fresh dog vomit.
Nothing to see for anyone who's already viewed their fair share of formulaic romantic comedies.
...comes off as an almost prototypical example of a modern romantic comedy...
This movie feels just like J-Lo's 'Back-Up Plan'.
J-Lo je uspjena vlasnica trgovine koja se zakoračivi u 30-e mora suočiti s nimalo ugodnom spoznajom da nije pronala "Gospodina Pravog"
J-Lo's worst outing since Gigli.
J.Lo romcom bursts with frank pregnancy, sex talk.

Even though it's both silly and sappy, it has a vaguely realistic tone that lets us identify with the characters
The Back Up Plan is predictable, cliched and incredibly unbelievable. But that is part of its appeal.
Saunters along as if all concerned had decided that imagination and flair were either unnecessary or impossible.
Jennifer Lopez is famous for one reason only. And odds are, that's where she found the script for The Back-up Plan.
It seems to have been filmed and hermetically sealed yearsago and only now, belatedly found on a shelf and trotted out.
The cast is fine but the film is strident and bland. Having an Audrey Hepburn DVD on standby might be the best back-up plan.
The Back-up Plan is nothing if not a terrible movie.
It's nice to have Jennifer Lopez back on the big screen - delivering the lines and handling the slapstick with ease. Here's hoping she has a hit on her hands and doesn't need a back-up plan.
