New on DVD: 'The Back-Up Plan,' 'Mrs. Goldberg'
THE BACK-UP PLAN (PG-13) 2 stars
PLOT In this not-as-bad-as-you-think-it-is romantic comedy directed by Alan Poul, Jennifer Lopez plays pregnant Zoe, a pet-shop owner knocked upimpregnated by her gynecologist and a baster full of donor sperm. "This isn't about a guy," she declares early in the movie, asserting her pride in choosing single motherhood - but, of course, it's a movie, so it is about a guy: Stan, played by Alex O'Loughlin. Zoe and Stan meet in a cab on the Upper West Side and soon begin to fall for each other.
EXTRAS "Belly Laughs: Making The Back-Up Plan" and deleted scenes.
LIST PRICES Blu-ray: $34.95; DVD: $28.95
