Barbara Larsen, Christopher McDonald, Donald Moffat

This terrible comedy stars Kinnear as an elevator engineer and Lauren Holly as his wife, a perfume designer. The two can't conceive a child due to his problematic sperm, and together they head down a ...( read more  read more... )slippery slope of getting help from a fertility clinic. Director Keith Samples handles all the embarrassing medical stuff with utter insensitivity, always going for the cheap laugh and making the clinic's doctor ('60s star France Nuyen) look like a humorless robot. The plot understandably delves into deeper territory when infertility troubles open the door to other, latent relationship problems; but, again, Samples is working with material more goofy than trenchant. The sight of Kinnear's character--while drunk and staring down an empty elevator shaft--cursing his sperm as "lazy f---ing swimmers," is enough to make you scream. --Tom Keogh

    Okay, not much substance really at all. It definitely was not a laugh-out-loud comedy, it was cute at times. I didn't feel connected to the characters or invested in the story.

    This was a real cute movie. Most women will love this movie and a lot of guys will also; I liked it, I thought it was cute. About a man and woman, trying to get pregnant and influences trying to stop them. It was a real cute movie and I recommend it.

    The sweetest movie. Anyone who wants children, has tried to have children, or already has children will enjoy this movie and even see the humor in it.

    I hate almost all baby movies.

    HATE. Hate hate hate.

    What terrible bastard marketing executive comes up with these? What soulless horrible kicker of puppies and stealer of mining children's hard-earned nickels thinks were that stupid that we would find this entertaining.

    Now...( read more), if the kid were a dog...

    Meanwhile, somewhere out there two people toil away on an amazing script....this is what gets made instead...go fuck yourself you bastards.
