The Back-up Plan

'The Back-up Plan' for thirty-something and still single Jennifer Lopez is to have herself inseminated to start her family. In true Hollywood fashion, no sooner has she done that then along comes Alex O'Loughlin and the rest? Well, the rest is no surprise given that this is moviedom and besides the entire plot is given away in the poster!

The opening credits are presented in cartoon style much as was the case in Doris Day/Rock Hudson romantic comedies in the late 1960s. But Doris Day comedies never contained words such as penis, vagina, insemination, sperm and pubes.

The 'humour' in the film, though, is as old as Doris Day and pretty unsubtle and in case that is not your style the creators throw in ageism comedy and plenty of poo and incontinence references for good measure.

  1. Sounds like a winner. Not. Soon it'll make its way to chick flick heaven: tv movie channels and DVD.
