The Back-Up Plan (2010) 5/10

Starring : Jennifer Lopez, Alex O'Loughlin, Michael Watkins, Eric Christian Olsen
Director : Alan Poul
Running Time : 105 mins

Zoe (Lopez) thinks she’s never going to meet her mister right, so decides to have children via artificial insemination. No sooner has she discovered that she’s officially pregnant than she meets Stan (O'Loughlin), a man who could quite possibly be the mister right she’s been looking for all her life.

This cringe-worthy romantic comedy desperately tries to raise laughs where there are none. Lopez desperately tries to hide her pregnancy from her new man for all of five minutes, then the rest of the film just doesn't sit well in my eyes. O'Loughlin's character seems just too forgiving about the whole situation, and the usual pregnancy jokes are handled badly and some great opportunities are passed over in favour of less funny moments of mirth.
