Zoe (Jennifer Lopez) is well aware that her biological clock is ticking, so now she desperately needs to be a mother, but she cant find her Mr. Perfect to start a family with. Finally, she decides to become a single mother so she gets artificially inseminated through a sperm bank. The very same day that Zoe follows through her plan, however, she meets Stan (Alex O'Loughlin), a single enchanter whom she thinks would make a great father. While at first Zoe makes an effort to hide her condition from Stan, before it is too long she decides to disclose the truth. Much to her surprise, Stan responds excitedly, saying that he's in it for the long relationship. Over the course of the next nine months, Zoe and Stan enter into a whirlwind romance, begin drawing up wedding plans, and mapping out the rest of their lives together. But will their growing love collapse under the stress of all this weight, or was it simply meant to be that Zoe and Stan would both find each other at such a crucial turning point in each other's lives?
It was rated PG13 for sexual matter including references, some crude material and language. Kirk Honeycutt from The Hollywood Reporter gave the picture a positive review saying that 'A successful performance by Jennifer Lopez overcomes a formulaic and predictable rom-com that involves a planned pregnancy.'
