Don't waste your precious time watching it, I stopped half way through, not even remotely funny
Sue Williamson
says
A great romantic comedy. A real laugh out loud movie. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Lissa
says
Jen always surprises me with the quality of her acting, and she is incredibly beautiful. Good acting from everyone, nice little story....but somehow it all misses being memorable. Well worth watching once.

Lighthearted romance in predictable JLo style. Don't expect too much and you will enjoy it!
Jojo
says
Typical J-Lo movie with not much thinking required - not brilliant but I was not thinking 'there goes an hour and a half of my life I won't get back" - it was ok.
Robyn
says
Probably didn't expect this to have the best plot, but something other than guessing the ending 1 minute into the movie would have been good. If you donn't want to think, this is foe you.
mary
says

l Kelly

christine

Cute, fun and unoffensive. Lighthearted entertainment, I enjoyed it, but it wasn't that memorable.
Tan
says
Loved It! Would like to purchase this movie to keep.
ann

it was ok
kasie
says
A good little movie to watch if you just want a bit of relaxation and a bit of a giggle.
Monica
says
Excellent movie
Joshua.
says
A fun movie, but... lets face it....Ms Lopez is easy to watch...and she does her normal entertaining 'thing' with this movie.....Its entertaining, a good laugh, with a story line that could be sort'a real.....sort'a. Well worth the watch.
Judy
says
Definitely a girlie movie. Quite enjoyed it
Michelle
says
It was okay, I'm not much of a Ji-Lo fan.
uncster
says
Crikey, Jennifer Lopez CAN act. Not a bad movie, all about a woman who is clucky for a baby, but can't find the right man, so becomes pregnant via scientific alternatives. She then finds the right man......
Jennifer
says
Terrible, could not even finish watching this movie
Nina Ricci
says
Good cast touching on a relevant and private topic in a comical way.
SB
says
True life funny, my boyfriend didn't mind it so that's pretty good :)
Not JLo's best but good.
eagles
says
Not much happening in this flim. Quite Boring
Margaret Morrone
says
Light-hearted comedy/romance. Enjoyed it very much.
melissa
says
was a great movie
Jane
says
No where near as good as what i thought it would be!
Mrsrids
says
laugh out loud funny, espesially if you have kids. Got it as a chick flick but even hubby got a few laughs. Better than i expected
alli
says
Fantastic movie. Funny and entertaining.
LB
says
so unrealistic and average acting
Wifey83
says
movie was a typically predictable. Had a decent storyline and was enjoyable to watch. Not the BEST movie, but a good movie if you wanted a girlie night in or a feelgood story with a slight humerous twist.
Penny
says
I found this movie extremely boring
Mary
says
Entertaining & Funny..
nc
says
A feel good chick flick. Easy viewing
Mich
says
I enjoyed this movie. It was funny but I also had a little cry as well.
Marianne
says
Movie was not as good as what I thought. Funny moments. If your a JLo fan, you might think that it's not one of her best.
Matthew B.
says
For a Jennifer Lopez film this was actually very funny and entertaining!
jenny d
says
this was such a lovely movie, had a cry and then a laugh - very enjoyable
Anne Cleary
says
loved it funny had a good laugh
Mel
says
East to watch but typical Jennifer Lopez. Predicatable and boring... something to watch if nothing better happening.
GERRIE
says
A FUN MOVIE..EASY TO WATCH
Ang
says
Good romance movie. Would watch this with the girls.
Zara
says
Only in America. Very predictable but easy movie to watch, enjoyed the chick flick..
Bel
says
Dont bother, turned it off after 20 mintues. shocking acting on the lead main man character.
maz
says
An OK watch - though typically American and predictable!
Anne
says
Light little romantic comedy. May watch again if it was on TV and nothing else was on.
barb
says
great movie plenty of laughs
Kathleen
says
Im sorry but this was a terrible movie. It's unrealistic and aside from a couple of reasonably funny bits its generally just a big cringe. I was really let down by this movie. I generally love all romantic comedies but not this one!
Sandra Barker
says
Enjoyable and funny movie.
frodosmum
says
Annoying, annoying, annoying. Jennifer Lopez is her typical crap in this one.
Val
says
Funny comedy of how life throws us curve-balls when we think we have our life plan all worked out.
somebugger
says
This one would have to be one of J Lo's better flix. Her character deals with real issues that are faced by women over the age of 32, that have the biological clock ticking and no man.
R Bailey
says
I would recommend this movie to anyone. Plenty of laughs.
JenP
says
A fairly tedious chick-flick. Worth tolerating Jennifer Lopez just for Alex O'Loughlan, who is always quite dishy!
Ruthiv
says
A popcorn chick flick with a few funny moments. Not bad but not fantastic either.
Hayles
says
Love IT!!
Tubbytex
says
How good is that Alex O'loughlan in chick flicks. Bring him on in bulk.
Gail Platz
says
Great chick flick and alex O'Loughlin is wonderful eye candy
Ez
says
I was cautious about this movie with JLo, I was plesently surprised, a lot of laughs and good eye candy Alex :)
luke
says
Cute little movie. Birthing scene good for laughs...
Maorinla
says
Just a B-grade "wait 4 the dvd" chick flick. Some funny moments, at parts boring and humor a bit 80ish. Glad I didn't waste money at the cinema.
AnaChloe
says
JLo is annoying and terrible in this movie.
jlr123
says
Really loved this movie - watched it twice - Alex is so HOT!! Laughed out loud
Ingrid
says
Predictable and sigh..boring
Mary
says
J-LO should stick to singing we hated it all of it
charles
says
predictable. easy to watch. nice movie to watch with the gals and a glass of red... maybe a couple of reds.
Nicole
says
Predictable and typical chick flick.... B UT I ENJOYED IT! Loved seeing Alex O'loughlin, fellow Aussie playing the hunky male lead! Funny movie!!
Teena
says
A definite "chick flick". Funny
evlee@bigpond.com
says
awful..... didn't finish watching.
Nomes
says
Lost interest half way through! I still watched it all though!
Nicole
says
A nice feel good movie that had some funny moments. Great to see an Aussie actor in the leading role.
baulch
says
i loved this molvie and so did my kids it was a funny movie too
Nic
says
I wasn't expecting much, I only watched it for Alex O'Loughlin.
But I was pleasantly surprised as it ended up being quite a cute and funny movie, if not a tad unrealistic....oh well, he's hot!
Krazee
says
Sickly!!!!! A typical Jennifer Lopez mushy movie. I'd like to see if she can play in a more serious role. I don't think she's capable....... Don't bother with this one, it's the same as all of her other movies.
Sammy
says
Good fun movie. Jennifer Lopez was good in this movie. Don't normally like her in movies.
beth
says
Started out a bit slow but by the end of the movie it was fantastic loved it
Hanna
says
loved it....funny and entertaining
Donna
says
This is a wonderful romantic comedy. Jennifer Lopez is at her best in this touching movie and her co-star plays such a great part.
It has something for everyone.
Definitely a great movie to add to your collection.
You won't be disappointed.
Highly recommended.
Michelle
says
Easy to watch and enjoyable. Laughed hysterically a few times. Especially the birth in the baby pool.
Owen
says
Well that's 90 minutes of my life I'll never get back!
gail b
says
great romance...love jennifer lopez ...
lpowell
says
bad b-grade romantic comedy... why did I think that a j-lo movie would be any different?
A
says
Just another typical J-Lo flick. After the Monster in Law it's been all downhill. Over acting is her specialty but I think it's getting old.
Coralie
says
This was a great film, great story and well acted, not to mention how handsome Alex Mc was - I think I'll start watching Hawaii 50 again just to take in his good looks and charm. What a find!
Paul
says
Oh so boring, I think only pregnant women would enjoy this.
Julie
says
If you like romantic comedies it is OK...Jennifer Lopez is OK.
Karen
says
Excellent movie, so funny
Rath
says
Just another fluff piece from Jennifer Lopes, though she does have a nice song to end the film with.
The plot is not believable considering the actors playing the main characters. J-Lo does not look like someone who would have trouble finding the right man for her. Its still too obvious she is acting.
Mind you, i can see why women would rate this film higher as it is a fairytale of how they would want to see a man behave in this situation.
nat
says
Not one of J Lo's better movies. Romantic and sweet but a little flat.
Julia
says
I enjoyed this romantic comedy. The actors and characters are likeable. Storyline contained a mix of humour, fun and seriousness.
Shazza
says
Pure J-Lo chic flick. Light easy to watch comedy not requiring any mental input from the viewer. Just sit back and enjoy a couple of good laughs.
Dee
says
Sorry to say but this is an idiot’s movie.
rachh
says
Really bad movie! didnt even finish watching it! not worth getting out!!!
Natalie
says
Great romantic comedy, the lead male is so handsome!
Carlz
says
Really would ask for my money back if I went to see this at the movies. The only reason I kept watching was seeing Alex O'loughlin with his shirt off. I agree with another person's review, "hire at your own risk"
toni
says
great movie throughly enjoyed it and had a good laugh!
Christos
says
Not as good as what I'd hoped for.. Totally non-sense and hopelessly soppy towards the end! A few good moments but not good enough to recommend it! Borrow this one at own risk!!
Barbara C.
says
I wouldn't rave about this one - I watched it through and didn't fall asleep so it couldn't have been too bad.
Leonna
says
Jennifer Lopez is the same sickly sweet character as in all her movies which is kind of a bore. Thank goodness she had a hunky side kick! Storyline is over the top and unrealistic but it was ok, I enjoyed it.
sarah s.
says
Worst movie EVER. Not funny and the birth scenes just made me squeamish. I think I laughed once. I usually love JLo chick flicks (aka Wedding Planners is one of my favourites) but I just felt embarrassed for everyone involved in this movie
mj
says
This Movie is bad. Another typical JLo romantic non-comedy... does she ever do anything else different with her acting these days?
Ann E.
says
A very easy, light, funny movie to watch definately a 'chick flick' like most Jennifer Lopez's movies so nothing really new there as Zoe she decides to have a baby alone and of course meets the man of her dreams on the way home from the doctors office and the tangled love affair that builds around expecting twins, Alex O'Loughlin (from Moonlight) played his part really well and he is so handsome. If you liked the orgasm scene in 'When Harry Met Sally' you will love this one and if you have a squimish stomach at birth scenes forget it! ! !
Marg
says
Nice movie, although definitely one for the girls! Not as many laughs as there could have been and certainly didn't tug at the heart strings at all but an okay watch.
Janie K
says
Contrived and awful. couldn't wait for it to end.
luisa
says
It's your typical J Lo movie. I loved it. It's mindless but very funny. Alex O'loughlin is great in this.
