Romantic comedy. Lather, rinse, repeat -- with a slight twist that only makes the standardness of the rest of it a little more annoying. Zoe (Jennifer Lopez) wants a baby but is tired of waiting for the perfect man. Taking control of her life, she decides on artificial insemination via sperm bank. Right after she leaves that procedure comes the standard meet-cute with Stan (Alex O'Loughlin), they start falling for each other, and then she finds it worked, and she's pregnant. Zoe actually seems like a sensible person until she's pregnant, and then she becomes more of the typical rom-com woman. Stan isn't a whole lot better dealing with the news, but Alex O'Loughlin is extremely nice to look at. The movie isn't a total loss, but it could have been more interesting if it didn't have to follow the formula.
My grade: C-plus.
