  Jennifer Lopez and Aussie heartthrob Alex O'Loughlin are pitch-perfect foils in the romantic comedy The Back-up Plan--a film that's as light as the foam on a root-beer float, but which manages to be both romantic and very funny. Lopez, after a long absence from the big screen, is a pleasure to watch--an accomplished (and underrated) comedian who can spar and spark with the best of her peers, and better than most. Lopez's chemistry with the dreamy O'Loughlin will engage viewers completely. Lopez plays Zoe, a smart woman whose dating life has been dismal--and who finally decides to become a single mum so she can achieve at least the motherhood she's always desired. As fate would have it, she meets Mr. Perfect (or Mr. Close To It), O'Loughlin's Stan, on the very day she visits the fertility clinic and becomes pregnant with twins. The early stages of their courtship involve Zoe's increasingly desperate measures to conceal her growing belly. By the time she confesses her condition, Stan is smitten--but with hormones on both sides roiling, and reality about to set in as the birth approaches, both Zoe and Stan get cold feet. If the plot of The Back-up Plan is a bit predictable, the flinty performances of both Lopez and O'Loughlin keep the viewer utterly engaged. Supporting actors Eric Christian Olsen, as Zoe's best guy pal, and the lovely and hilarious Michaela Watkins (The New Adventures of Old Christine) turn in terrific performances, too, and cameos by veterans including Albert Klein (as Zoe's hyperenthusiastic doctor), Tom Bosley, and Linda Lavin round out the excellent acting ensemble. The Back-up Plan also features an engaging soundtrack with a danceable tune by Lopez, "What Is Love?" and memorable songs by Colbie Caillat, India Arie, and more. The Back-up Plan shows that love may not always go according to plan--OK, it never does--but it's worth the ride, however the heart ultimately gets there. --A.T. Hurley

• The 41-Year-Old Virgin Who Knocked Up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It | DVD | (16/05/2011) from £7.91   |  Saving you £8.08 (102.15%)   |  RRP £15.99

  This disjointed comedy spoofs four Judd Apatow efforts: The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and Superbad (Apatow directed two and produced the other two). It gets off to an awkward start when Andy (MadTV's Bryan Callen), a middle-aged comedian, has a nightmare in which his hairy chest horrifies his topless date. The rest of the movie continues along the same vein--more disgusting moments, more underdressed women. As it turns out, Andy's housemates, Michael (Steven Nicholas) and Jonah (Steven Sims, best of the lot), also plan to lose their virginity in the days to come. All three hang out with characters who recall Seth Rogen, Christopher Mintz-Plasse (Superbad's McLovin), the "Can you hear me now?" guy, and a black Benjamin Button, who ages in reverse (and dresses like Samuel L. Jackson). While the teens try to track down booze for a party, Andy meets Kim (Noureen DeWulf), who has to break their date when she gets a job in Hawaii, and Sarah (Mircea Monroe), who loses control of her bodily functions when she drinks too much. Then one of the ladies gets pregnant, and everyone ends up in Maui, where complications, naturally, ensue. Along with the Apatow-inspired situations, co-writer-director Craig Moss (Saving Ryan's Privates) spoofs American Pie, Twilight, Slumdog Millionaire, and There Will Be Blood, but The 41-Year-Old Virgin feels more like a series of sketches than a full-fledged feature, the gross-out humour gets old fast, and Moss squanders all the sweetness of Apatow's best work. --Kathleen C.
