Movie #306 "The Back-Up Plan" is a romantic comedy. Donna normally likes romantic comedies, and this one offers a different, more modern retelling of the age-old genre. I liked that part, no doubt. I found it interesting that she was going through a pregnancy and changes in her body, while trying to look her best because she is just falling in love. And as far as romantic comedies go, as long as the two people are winning and the film doesn't cross the stupid line, a romantic comedy would usually rate higher than a 3 in my books. Here's the thing with this one. I like Jaylo, and the guy is pleasant, as well. But there were down and out just plain annoying scenes in the film that kept pulling it back from charming this viewer. I'll just give one example. The birht of a baby in a swimming pool that I think was supposed to be funny, but it was so down and out loud and annoying that it just wasn't funny. It made this person watching it quite happy I never had kids. and I don't think the scene was supposed to make you feel that way. I can't recommend it to many people at all. You skip this one.
