The Back-up Plan

ComedyRomance106 min

After years of bad dates, Jennifer Lopez is Zoe, a woman who stops waiting for Mr. Right and decides to have a baby on her own through artificial insemination. On the same day, she meets Stan, and what should be a fresh romantic start collides immediately with the plan she’s already set in motion. Alex O’Loughlin’s Stan enters Zoe’s life just as she’s facing pregnancy, questions about single motherhood, and the awkward timing of a relationship that arrives later than expected.
