The Back-up plan

It is a nice light hearted romantic comedy. A one time watch if you adore Jennifer Lopez.
The movie is about a woman in her thirties 'Zoe' who still hasn't met a man of her dreams and feels its time to have kids. So she conceives through artificial insemination and then meets Stan, the man of her dreams the very same day. She seems to like him and cannot get enough of him but is afraid of losing him on telling him the truth.
The movie proceeds almost predictably with Stan feeling she cheated him by not telling him about it before and then he anyhow is so madly in love with her that he agrees to raise the kids as his own. But then when everything is going right, Zoe thinks Stan doesn't consider the kids his own and then walks out on him. However when its time to deliver realization dawns and she asks for forgiveness and for Stan back in her life. So, they have kids and live together and then after a while Stan asks Zoe for marriage and she says 'yes'. A happy ending!

I didn't really see much sense in the movie. Even the comedy was hardly there. Acting didn't really catch my eye as the movie couldn't keep my attention.
