On one of the buildings in the neighborhood where Jennifer Lopez's character's pet store is, there is some graffiti (written inside the outline of a heart) that reads: "M.A. + J.L." This is an obvious reference to Lopez's former real-life husband, Marc Anthony. See more »

The economics information on the chalkboard when Stan is taking the exam (71 minutes) is incorrect -- he was right to look perplexed and then walk out of that class. On the left side of the screen, the graph with a horizontal line is labeled as "perfectly inelastic," with "E=0". Nope, a horizontal demand curve is "perfectly elastic" and has an elasticity coefficient of infinity. A perfectly inelastic demand curve is vertical and has an elasticity coefficient of zero.

Sorry I didn't get a pedicure

What?

Dr. Scott Harris:
I'm not looking at your toes, I'm looking at your cervix
Zoe:
Right, now I kinda wish you were looking at my toes

After noticing that this movie got a 4/10 on IMDb, I was reluctant to see it and especially didn't want to drag Fabio into a romantic comedy disaster. However, with not much out these days, we watched it together last night and were both pleasantly surprised (low expectations can do wonders!). 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
