The Backup Plan-T

It's been a while since I've reviewed a movie, but this one was deemed blog-worthy, mainly because Melissa promised to blog as well...we'll see what happens there! While we didn't have any kids today and Iron Man 2 is still a week away, we headed to the movie theater to catch The Backup Plan starring Jennifer Lopez. With the wife being pregnant and also being a big J-Lo fan, we deemed this movie "theater worthy" for us, as Netflix and dollar movies have probably ruined us forever.

Let me state for the record, this movie was good. The story flowed nicely as we go through the Jennifer Lopez's pregnancy. We see the ups and downs of her relationship with a guy she just met after she was impregnated by a doctor. I was a little surprised that this movie was PG-13, seeing as how this movie include strong language and brief (and I do mean brief) nudity. For you Happy Days fans, you might see Tom Bosley in his last movie, seeing as how I didn't realize that he was still alive.

Here is my only problem with the movie. To me, this was like every other romantic comedy that Jennifer Lopez has been in, unless she is killed in the beginning of Jersey Girl. The movie had kind of a "been there, done that" feel for me. All in all though, I can look past that and focus what was good about the movie.

What might kill this movie is the timing of the release, seeing as how Iron Man 2 will kick the hell out of it next week. Guys, take my advice, take your lady to see this now, so they won't hold it over you when you want to see Iron Man 2 next week. The best part is, you won't be disappointed in this one.
