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

    Funny in it's parts, but really, stupid concept.

  • Leo L


    Good movie. Tons of laughter. Here is an interesting movie about a mid-30's woman who realizes that she has reached the last stage of chances to get pregnant and have a child of her own. Despite her boyfriend's distaste for children, she is determined to achieve her goal… More
