The back-up plan

Rating: 2/5 – by R.K.

This is another typical romantic comedy portraying love, marriage and relationships all wonderful while on planet earth things are actually different.

Jennifer Lopez decides to conceive a child and raise him by herself as she is not finding a partner who is worth being with. And then she meets “the one” and you can guess all the rest. Yes, the movie is a clichéd predictable formula with little to no originality. It’s dramatically uninteresting, suffers from sit-com humor tendencies, lacks a compelling romance, and struggles to find a convincing performance.

Some people (mostly women) would enjoy watching such romance (maybe on a rainy Sunday afternoon) but personally I didn’t enjoy watching another movie trying to convince me that relationships can happen so easily and smoothly where core problems are solved in a couple of hours.
