Leave your thoughts about The Back-Up Plan.
| Salon.comAndrew O'HehirA dispiriting and thoroughly ineffective romantic comedy, with some juicy morsels provided around the edges by a great supporting cast but no heat whatever in the central coupling between Lopez and Aussie TV hunk Alex O'Loughlin. |
| MovieJuice!Mark Ramsey'At this point the only guy who wants to approach your hoo-haa is one wearing rubber gloves with antiseptic tongs,' said Robert Klein. |
| Film ThreatDon R. Lewis"The Back-Up Plan" is a stupid, unfunny, gross and annoying film. Let's just get that out of the way right now. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanAs a romantic comedy, The Back-up Plan is friendly but also a bit drab. |
| Houston ChronicleAmy BiancolliI laughed hysterically, but in the interest of balanced reporting, I should add that the guy parked next to me at the screening - a boyfriend who was there under duress - emitted a series of low guttural noises suggesting profound psychological anguish. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderAt every turn, the movie takes the safest, most generic, most heavily trafficked path, as if determined to avoid standing out in any way. Mission accomplished! |
| Boston HeraldJames Verniere7:15 p.m.: Pssst, I'm the only man who's ever going to see "The Back-up Plan," or at least the only one willing to admit it, and I'm 15 minutes into pure chick-flick hell. HELP. |
| Orlando SentinelRoger MooreO’Loughlin is the very definition of comic dead weight. Imagine making Greg Kinnear carry half of "Baby Mama," or sending Tina Fey out with Matthew Fox on "Date Night" and you’ll get the picture. |
| Metro Times (Detroit, MI)Corey HallEven J-Lo's much-ballyhooed caboose can't elevate this hackneyed eyesore |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura CliffordOn the whole, Jennifer Lopez has had some semi-successful romantic comedies given today's low standards, but going with a first time feature writer, director and leading man stretches her appeal too far. |
