Top Critics' Reviews

Rotten: For all the profanity (quite a bit) and sexual sass, this CBS Films product plays even more like a TV movie than its debut project, Extraordinary Measures. – Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel, Jun 24, 2010

Rotten: The premise was novel enough that I found it sweet and charming. – A.O. Scott, At the Movies, Jun 24, 2010

Rotten: Why even bother? – Richard Roeper, Richard Roeper.com, Jun 24, 2010

Rotten: Sporadically amusing but rarely inspired. – Anna Smith, Empire Magazine, Jul 7, 2010

NO....just NO.

I like JLo, she is fun and cute and lovable onscreen and she is a beautiful lady. But she was kinda boring in this, it was really bad and basically not funny at all. The guy in it is egotistical and not very attractive, and obnoxious in some scenes. To sum it up: Boring. Not worth your money. Not fun. Watch something else.

just plain dreadful

the writing was awful, he could not act and made every scene awkward and unbearable, they had absolutely no chemistry, JLo was actually boring in this movie, the dog was the best actor in the movie, and i wasted an hour and 44 minutes of my life.

Wait Until Thoroughly Cooked!!

Unfortunately this film decided that they didn't have to heed this warning and sent out the film as it was. TPTB didn't cut this film into what it could have been and tried to incorporate sex appeal, humor, and emotion without success. The premise of Zoe's story is so pointedly tossed out there as though the audience should know what the film is about, trailers and commercial promo not included, and hardly decides to give any back story into who the main character is! She wants a child cause "The One" hasn't appeared yet, and point blank-she's lonely. Enter "The One", Stan is a farmer and a night school student, and that's about as deep as the script took him. He acts realistically with the "plan" and then, suddenly becomes attached to Zoe&co. for no apparent reason given! Alex O'loughlin and Jennifer Lopez did the best with a story that needed to be revised and thought out a bit more!
