    Hugh Laurie did some appalling crap before he settled into the role of the superb House, and this is one example. All the usual faces go through the motions of 30-something observational romantic comedy, directed by Britain's biggest sell out Ben Elton. An example of everything I...( read more) detest about british comedy.

    An *almost* cute movie about a British couple's struggle with infertility.

    Awesome! Not to mention hillarious.

    Some cute moments in this comedy from Hugh Laurie's pre-Sexiest Man "House" days. Supporting cast is in this tale of a couple in their 30s having trouble with conception. Light fare from Ben Elton, although as is true in most cases, the book was better.

    An inspiring Love Story....endearing and realistic!...Love, Marriage, Infertility, Trust, and betrayal in One!

The problem with this romantic comedy is that although it eventually winds its way to a conclusion that feels right, it takes too many convoluted steps to get there. full review
