Bad news for Jennifer Lopez as her new movie” The Back up Plan” just got leaked onto the internet two days before its official theatrical release. According to reports, the movie was leaked through a pre-screening of the film.
This isn’t the first time a movie has been leaked on the internet. A pirated version of X-Men Origin: Wolverine was leaked early last year – to the anticipation of comic book fans. However, unlike the massive media buzz around the superhero flick, J-Lo’s romantic comedy may not fare as well after being leaked on the internet.
“The Back Up Plan” stars Lopez in her first movie in 2 years. The plot is simple: a single woman coming to terms with the fact that she will never meet “the one” and decides to get pregnant through in-vitro fertilization only to… (drum rolls please) meet her dream guy on the same day!
One can say J-Lo is in her element, after all, this is the woman that has romantic comedies typed in bold on her resume. But unlike her previous films, her acting is mediocre. Even the cast of Back Up which includes the delicious Alex O’ Loughlin of Moonlight fame can’t seem to bring chemistry to the film. Much of the acting seems forced.
The film isn’t entirely without its little charms and quirks. It does have its light moments and punch lines that may get the film two stars.
If one were to dish out $10 to go see this in theatres, don’t expect to walk feeling satisfied. But you will at least get some eye candy of J Lo’s post –baby bod.
Any plans on going to see the movie??
