Heather Graham is to hot for this., 10 August 2008
5/10
Author: EXodus25X from United States

Recently I have seen a slew of low budget independent films with Heather Graham staring. I'm not sure if she can just not find work in the Hollywood main stream or if maybe she is trying to hone her craft in the independent scene. Well, I'm going to have to go with Hollywood rejecting her, because her choices in films have not been great. In my opinion she is a beautiful woman who has done some pretty good work before but to me it's beginning to feel like just another Heather Graham movie, like this film here. OK, to be fair she does have an accent (no matter how bad it is) in this film so that is something to separate it. My point being she always delivers the same performance, exactly what the her character is and adding nothing new or unique, just a simple cookie cutter character for each film. Here is no exception, the premise could have been unique but is not, it could have brought about some very genuinely funny moments but does not in fact like Heather Graham this film does nothing more then it's simple story requires. In fact what is scary is that in most romantic comedies I feel it's the pointless supporting cast the can kill a film a take screen times away from your leads. Well in this case believe it or not the supporting cast is actually better an d more of them would have made for a better film instead we have same old Heather Graham and her on again off again boyfriend who is a jerk every time they are on screen together but then some how is the nice relatable guy when they are separate hmmm. Well, I have already drug this review on more then the film deserves, it's a waste of a good idea and just all to typical.

The popcorn worth more than the film ticket, 28 August 2008
4/10
Author: mihi64 from Bucharest, Romania

This was a poor movie. Heather Graham did a very poor role. During the movie, i didn't even once feel her character. She acted like a psycho from the start to the very end. The soundtrack of the movie was plain and boring. The other actors were quite good and convincing. Mia Kirshner did a very good job as a supporting actress. Tom Ellis appeared seldom during the movie and his character was not properly developed. I also had the feel that there were some scenes cut from the movie. I believe that Heather Graham ruined the movie with her role. The movie is a comedy, but the only time when I laugh was when they did a scene with a cake(inspired from American Pie). Yes, I paid more on the popcorn than I did on the ticket. Comparing the value of the popcorn with the value of the movie, all I can say is that the popcorn worth every penny.

So you want to make a baby..., 22 September 2008
5/10
Author: siderite from Romania

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

It takes a sexy American actress posing as British to make this film watchable? No. The only possible audience for this film is the women who are close to menopause and want children. Men, stay away!

If you thought that this is a romantic movie, think again. It is all about the babies. This girl learns that she really has only one chance left to have a child, lest she turns barren. Her boyfriend is not the baby loving type, so she quickly dumps him (with the whining reason that having a baby is the most important thing for her) and proceeds on planning to lure a man to make her pregnant.

The only positive thing going for her is that she tries to get in touch with her former boyfriend only to be blocked by the new girlfriend wanna-be.

What follows are pathetic attempts to make men sleep with her (I mean, how hard can it be?!) and then a silly happy ending, since the guy really loved her, even with all the deception and self-centricity.

Bottom line: if a guy listens to what his body is telling him and shags lots of women, he is a bad bad boy. If a woman listens to her body and tries to fornicate with as many men as possible in order to have a child, she is a sensible victim of premature menopause. Gah!

So very f***ing worthless, 16 October 2008
1/10
Author: Love S from Stockholm, Sweden

This is a very short comment. This films blows. It's so bad I cant even be bothered to write a proper comment. The only thing people need to know is that while you expect a proper chick-flick witch will entertain you for a while and be moderately funny, you'll get a boring and ill-made picture instead. The plot is utterly ridiculous and the script is a g*dd*mn f***ing joke. This movie have no redeeming qualities at all. It should be destroyed. I don't even care about the acting, maybe some are good and maybe some are bad - since the film as a whole is a waste of everything nobody cares.. I'm usually inclined to admit that taste are different and that I can hate movies that other people love. However, in this case I can not believe that anybody actually gave this movie a 10 .. NO WAY ..

Pretty good, 24 June 2008
6/10
Author: Mattias Thuresson from Stockholm, Sweden

I thought it was pretty good. The plot centers around a 34-year old woman who is about to hit menopause early. I've always felt that Heather Graham is an undervalued actress who could go far with the right material, eg. "Broken" (2007) but I think that the plot would have been more credible with a slightly older looking actress, Graham still looks like 25. Perhaps the scenes with Zack's adventures in Ireland and his ditzy production assistant wasn't really essential to the plot. I never really understood why Georgina fancies Zack at all when the chemistry and emotional depth between Georgina and her friend Clem appears to be much deeper. The incident with the sperm sample and the birthday cake felt very contrived.

I noticed the frequent use of "Darling" and "Sweetie" which at times made the movie sound like a P.G. Wodehouse novel or an episode of "Absolutely Fabulous". Kudos to first time screen writer Camilla Leslie for making a new twist on the romantic comedy formula.

Don't waste your time...., 15 June 2008
1/10
Author: kevingattaca from United Kingdom

OK so let's get this over with..... Heather gets ONE point for the accent

We've all done this before ;

Watched a movie with the fast forward button ?, Sometimes it's just the first three minutes of the movie that we realise that we have been cheated once more by life ?, No mater that you checked the review, No mater that there was the front picture of a scantily babe ( or guy depending on the day ? ) No, No NO you scream ?!, My only hope can be that None of my hard earned money from a Lottery Scratch Card has gone on this utter waste of time ? for far to long lottery cash has gone on holding up this type of movie/Star time and time again...

This is NO Richard Curtis film, Lacking Heart, Interest and Humor

You might as well save your money and buy a Lottery Scratch Card instead at least you'd know that you weren't wasting your money............Oh wait ?!

A great girlie film, 30 May 2008
8/10
Author: dameputney

A really sweet, funny, film that's a lighthearted take on the difficult subject of infertility. Heather Graham's wonderful - I know she's much maligned these days but she's such a charismatic and warm actress that you really feel for her character, Georgina, who's only got a few days left in which to get pregnant. I didn't know Mia Kirshner or Tom Ellis before but both were excellent, making the whole film really watchable. Both girls do well with their English accents, and the depiction of modern Britain (OK, I'm a Brit) was refreshing compared to the likes of Four Weddings, Love Actually etc., which are stodgy and stereotypical by comparison.

Pass on this one, 9 March 2008
2/10
Author: njtomiami from United States

It was difficult to laugh at the supposed jokes, delivery and timing was really off. The only scene that caused me to laugh out loud was similar to a scene from "What about Mary" when Mary mistakenly uses a certain body fluid as hair gel.

Why is the movie advertised as country of Orgin "Germany". It takes place in the UK with British and American actors. Nothing German here.

Too many details are so unauthentic it was distracting, for example, our pretty petite lead character owns a construction company (more realistic if she was the secretary), the film production assistant has a Valley Girl accent (British accent would be more appropriate), The lead character is going though menopause at the age of 34 (at least make her 40 yrs old?).

Pros about the movie: I enjoyed the character who played the macho construction guy. The best part about the movie is how gay friendly it was.
