Critic Reviews
-
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly
Graham is charming, but Miss Conception is a cloddish biological-clock bedroom farce.
-
Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times
Miss Conception isn't so much a movie as an extended sitcom -- it looks like one, it acts like one, it reduces everything to the lowest common denominator like one.
-
Sheri Linden, Hollywood Reporter
It feels more like a small-screen distraction.
-
Peter Debruge, Variety
Miscast and miscalculated, Miss Conception hopes to collect on Hollywood's recent baby-on-board craze, delivering instead the least credible take on human pregnancy since Arnold Schwarzenegger gave birth in Junior.
-
Andrew L. Urban, Urban Cinefile
A misconceived hodge podge of genuine romantic comedy and plastic story
