Another one of those fun posts that we just had to share ……..
I’m going to shell out $12.50 for a Jennifer Lopez movie…thanks to Alex O’Loughlin.
I made a promise to myself that I would never again waste my hard-earned money seeing a J.Lo movie in the theater. Last night, however, a publicist sent me some new photos of Moonlight’s Alex O’Loughlin, shirtless and driving a tractor*, in a scene from Lopez’s 2010 rom-com vehicle The Back-Up Plan.
Suddenly, the reasons for my seven-year boycott are fleeing my brain like the seeds of a late-fall dandelion in a stiff wind.** What do you say, PopWatchers? Should O’Loughlin’s commitment to ab excellence cancel out my long-standing Lopez Avoidance Plan?
Or is buying a ticket to The Back-Up Plan going to be the equivalent of shaking my open wallet out the window of a moving taxi?

Who pays $12.50 for a movie ticket??? Maybe in LA or NY. That tractor scene was nice.

LOL! $12.50? I didn’t have to shell out a dime, but I would have if needed. I got to see the premier for FREE in my home state when I got and offer from TPTB promoting the movie. My sister and I went to a “Ladies night out” exclusive viewing of the movie before it hit theaters. I was so excited to see Alex on the big screen and OMG! I almost passed out when Stan (Half Naked) told Zoe to “watch out for that tree.” *THUD* Most of the woman there were JLo fans and had no idea Alex even existed…YET. The whispers and gasps of “who is he?” just made my heart beat faster as Alex’s charm and good looks won many new admirers. ♥
I could have waited for any JLo movie to come to DVD, BUT this was Alex’s debut and I wasn’t gonna miss it. I even went back with a girlfriend and paid $8 to see Alex again after TBUP officially opened. I also bought the DVD asap when it was released. 😀 ♥♥♥

I only paid a dollar to rent it, but it would have been fun to see Stan on a giant screen. Unfortunately, it wasn’t very good. It had too much potty and gross out humor for me and every modern rom-com cliche in the book. Stan/Alex was really cute in it, but I kept thinking this could have been so much better without all the triteness and cheap jokes. Not to mention “cheese farmer” is not what you call a person that makes cheese! 😉

I know. The original script was hilarious, and bit less slapstick. But that’s not what they filmed…
But he made the movie entertaining for me. Him alone. I was disinterested in Chloe. And I got nothing against JLo…just thought she overacted that character.

That’s it! And Stan had a family and got more “airtime”. Woulda improved the movie immensely. Btw, the original script won some Hollywood award. Not so much the one they used in the movie… 🙄
