Dec 16 2008Jennifer Lopez Has a Baby and Also a New Boyfriend--WHAT???
CBS Films, noticing a glaring fertility-themed romantic comedy hole in next year's schedule, has signed Jennifer Lopez to star in just such a film:
Jennifer Lopez has signed on to star in the fertility-themed romantic comedy "Plan B" for CBS Films.Penned by Kate Angelo, story centers on a single woman (Lopez) who turns to artificial insemination to answer her ticking biological clock only to meet the man of her dreams on the same day as her positive pregnancy test results.
OK, so she's pregnant, like she wanted, and now she's apparently fallen instantaneously in love. What's the issue? That she fears her perfect man would hate any child not born of his seed? That she now loathes the baby growing inside her because it's not spawned from her sudden crush? If that's the case, then still, what's the plot? Jennifer Lopez contemplating if having an abortion after artificial insemination would be too much of a waste of money? I feel like I've already given this premise more critical thought than its writer probably did.
Is there a way this makes an obvious romantic comedy plot that I'm missing?

Um,
Isn't this the exact plot of Baby Mama?

Yes. But this will have nobody funny in it. So it will just be a bomb that you can't even get 2 minutes and 30 seconds of slight courtesy chuckles out of. Just a preview full of J LO sucking the humor and joy out of all who were tricked into watching the trailer during CBS Primetime. Sounds like a great comeback to "B film that accidentally tripped onto big the screen" movie for Cole Hauser though.
Soundtrack by James Blunt over the backdrop of Manhattan in the Fall.
I'll bet I am really close on this one.

Prediction:
The "perfect man" will wind up being the sperm donor.
Seems obvious.

Er, "Plan B" is emergency contraceptive. Fucktards.

Or... Look Who's Talking Tres!
With the baby's hilariously sarcastic thoughts being voiced by Rosie Perez or George Lopez!

WTF with J_Lo? Her last album tanked, her husband is a girly man, and now she's resorting to making TV movies for CBS? The last bastion of the ex-famous actors. I guess Lifetime will be calling next.

I thought she had finally went away! Why won't she go away? Please go away!

In a surprising twist, the baby senses the fear and loathing of its mom and her paramour and vows revenge from beyond the womb.
If this turned into Rosemary's Baby halfway through, I'd pay to see it.

I was also going to point out that Plan B is an emergency contraceptive. And I fail to see any real conflict in the plot synopsis. Sounds like a serious contender for Worst Movie Ever.

@Lessssss, it's my favorite emergency contraceptive. I've developed complete brand loyalty to it throughout my slutty life. I don't think that would make a great film, though, unless it was a rape drama. When will JLo do that one?
