The Back Up Plan

The Back Up Plan stars Jennifer Lopez and some no name dude. Now I was dragged to this movie by my lovely wife. Like all good husbands, I tried not to complain too much.

Why I liked it: I didn't expect to like it at all, so when I got a few laughs, I was surprised. A lot of the humor related to me because, being married you learn a lot more about the female than you'd ever imagined. The movie exposed that disconnect between men and women, and I found it comical. Anthony Anderson was hilarious as the Playground Dad. So while, there were many shortcomings (the plot, the main dude), there were some great laughs in there that to me made it all worthwhile. It's not gonna win an Academy Award, but it should get you to slap your knees a few times.

Why some might not: If you are single, you might not connect with some of the humor. Also the birthing scene is really disgusting, a little funny, but way gross. So if you are the queasy type, then you should probably make it a bathroom break. If the story line is everything to you, then this is not for you.

Why John hates it: One: It had J Lo in it. He's not much of a butt guy. haha jk. Second, it wasn't abstract enough. Also, he is the queasy type, so....enough said.

ALL IN ALL: I don't expect anyone to really love the movie, but don't be such a movie critic that you can't let yourself laugh at some awkward moments.
