It is the story of Zoe (Jennifer Lopez), a pet store owner, who being single and afraid that she will pass the age of having children, decides to get artificially inseminated. The problem is that it works on the first try and that she meets a very attractive, charming man (Alex O'Loughlin) right outside her doctor's office the day of her procedure.
Trying to pass it off as nothing and ignoring the dreamy man doesn't do much good. They bump into each other repeatedly and he goes out of his way to romance her and capture her affections. But when the truth of her situation is revealed, things turn sour, if only for a little bit. After their first make-out scene she blurts out to him that she is pregnant. He is obviously quite surprised stating it cannot happen so quickly.
Despite being clearly very smitten by Zoe he is not sure of being ready for children in the first place, let alone somebody else's child, or worst of all, as they will soon find out, twins. However, as I'm sure you can imagine, he decides to stick by her and lives out her pregnancy with her, promising to stay with her forever.
There are many cute, heartfelt and humorous scenes but also some very over the top and outrageous ones (a live exorcism style birth, filled with screaming and chanting, in the living room of her support group being one of them).
Overall this movie was light, enjoyable and made me feel good. I laughed quite a lot and was touched at times. Being pregnant, I could relate to some of the emotions - although luckily for Fabio I am not nearly as hormonal and do not sleep with a gigantic pillow in between us. Not every night at least!
My rating: 6
Fabio's: 6
Total score: 12/20
