The Back-up Plan

The Back-up Plan is a glorious comedy that explores dating, love, marriage and family but not necessarily in that order. It stars scrumptious Jennifer Lopez (Zoe) who is matched up with delicious Alex O'Loughlin (Stan). The story is very 2010. Here goes.

After years of dating, Zoe (Jennifer Lopez) has decided waiting for the right one is taking too long. Determined to become a mother, she commits to a plan, makes a doctor's appointment and decides to go it alone. That same day, Zoe meets Stan (Alex O'Loughlin) - a man with real possibilities.

Trying to nurture a budding relationship and hide the early signs of pregnancy becomes a comedy of errors for Zoe and creates confusing signals for Stan. When Zoe nervously reveals the reason for her unpredictable behavior, Stan considers his unusual future but eventually says he's in. Never before has love seen a courtship where a wild night of sex involves three in a bed - Stan, Zoe and the ever-present massive pregnancy pillow. The real pregnancy test comes when both of them realize they really don't know each other outside of hormonal chaos and birth preparations. With the nine month clock ticking, both begin to experience cold feet. Anyone can fall in love, get married and have a baby but doing it backwards in hyper-drive could be proof positive that they were made for each other.

Caught up in the intense atmosphere of New York City’s prestigious School of Performing Arts, they confront both the tantalizing promise of success and the challenges of thriving in this highly competitive environment.
