Movie Review: The Back-Up Plan


The Back-Up Plan, starring Jennifer Lopez and Alex O'Loughlin is a fun and entertaining movie. The opening credits said that it is an "Escape Artists Production" and that gave me an idea of what was to come - a pleasant escape. If you have a few spare hours, this is a fun way to escape from grocery shopping, laundry, dishes and be entertained. There aren't deep serious thoughts that will stay with you and keep you awake at night. Jennifer Lopez is beautiful and as always, a joy to watch. The costumes are good, the shoes are great! Alex O'Loughlin stands up to her star power and holds his own. You may fall in love with this guy! If you're a huge Lopez fan, you will love this movie. If not, I would put an "x" in the "okay/like" column. There is nothing that makes it stand out from other romantic comedies.

Even though I laughed out loud more times in Back-Up Plan (and so did the rest of the audience I saw it with this morning) if you're going out tonite with your guy, I'd recommend Date Night instead. That movie, starring Tina Fey and Steve Carell, has elements of a romantic comedy but there are chase scenes and gunfire for the guys, as well.

The Back-Up Plan Storyline: (no spoilers) Jennifer Lopez's character, Zoe, hears her biological clock ticking. She wants to have a family with children, but hasn't found the right guy. Step-in, artificial insemination. Leaving the doctor's office, she meets the-guy-of-her dreams. As you can imagine, the boy meets girl is a bit complicated.

Date Night Storyline: (no spoilers) Tina Fey and Steve Carell play a married couple wondering if their lives have become too mundane. They go out for dinner to a popular Manhattan restaurant with no reservation. On an impulse, they take someone else's (haven't you always wanted to do that? I have!) and a case of mistaken identity pulls them into more adventure than they dreamed.

Bottom line? If you're a die-hard Jennifer Lopez fan or hopeless romantic, go to The Back-Up Plan, you will love it. Otherwise I would stick with Date Night or even better yet, stay home and rent The Blind Side - that's a hands-down winner.

Giveaway - Pillsbury Pizza and Game Night

Did you hear loud laughter between 7 and 8 o'clock tonite? The KLY family had a fun evening thanks to My Blog Spark and Pillsbury!

It was the first time we tried Pillsbury Pizza Crust and making our own pizza at home. We eat pizza at least once a week - but usually from carry-out or frozen. It was hilarious to see Rosie making a spaghetti smiley face on her part of the pizza! I had my olives, Sean loaded his with sausage. Grandma and Grandpa looked on, shaking their heads and laughing. We had good-natured rivalry and all boasted about our pizza making skills, but agreed at the end that it was all delicious. Rosie and Grandpa even sang a duet, "when the moon hits your eye, like a big pizza pie, it's AMORE." We will definitely be doing this again, our family, or for even more fun, with guests!

Our package also included a Pictureka game from Hasbro. Have you been to the Family Game Night website? They have great tips, recipes, and an age-appropriate game guide.
