Kassie est une new-yorkaise célibataire, intelligente et dynamique. En dépit des avertissements de son meilleur ami, le sympathique mais légèrement névrosé Wally, elle décide qu’il est grand temps d’avoir un enfant – et cela même si aucun père n’est présent à l’horizon car elle a déjà sélectionné le donneur idéal: le charmant Roland. Alors que Kassie organise une grande soirée pour fêter sa future insémination, un Wally complètement ivre, va procéder à un échange de dernière minute qui va mettre à mal l’organisation parfaite de la future maman. Le lendemain, alors qu’il est victime d’une gueule de bois carabinée, Wally a tout oublié. Sept ans plus tard, lorsque Kassie revient à New York avec son fils, Wally va réaliser qu’il y a une troublante ressemblance entre le petit garçon et lui… (Metropolitan FilmExport)

A classic relaxer... Jennifer Aniston as good as ever and Jason Bateman kind of held his own too. A new idea, a new story... why not? 3.5 stars.

A solid representative of the romcom genre. Nothing special, it’s all just routine, and everything is as it should be. She is sympathetic but blind to her future counterpart, he is thickheaded and of course they are only brought together by chance and we have to wait for a happy ending after the seemingly final separation. Jennifer Aniston is a genre pro, and the others don’t spoil it for her, so there's nothing to worry about. It’s an ideal relaxing film that doesn't draw unnecessary attention to itself, doesn't ask questions, and simply flows and does its job.

I don't like Jennifer Aniston, but in this film, she didn't bother me as much. The main reason was Jason Bateman, who was excellent in this film, especially alongside his son. He has disappointed me before, but in this case, I had a good time. If there had been a different actress instead of Aniston, I would have enjoyed it just the same. For me, that speaks somewhat to her qualities. The film was entertaining, and I wouldn't mind watching it again sometime.

The only thing I can praise about this film are the actors none of whom I found annoying. I really liked Jeff Goldblum in his role. That’s about as far as the positives go. The whole film revolved around the method of conception, an issue that is even more relevant today than in the past because white heterosexuals are the quintessence of evil and are impeding humanity's evolutionary progress toward the three seashells. The main problem I had with the film was its acute shortage of humor. There wasn’t anything to laugh about, and the main emotion it made me feel was boredom. The story slowly trudged forward, everything in it the same shade of grey. Just when I thought nothing could break the monotony, along came the little boy who was like Marvin, the robot from Hitchhiker's Guide. But instead of being just as delightfully depressing, he was in-your-face annoying. To make things worse, he was also politically engaged. The character was kind of the last straw for me. / Lesson learned: Do you want to enjoy a truly depressing atmosphere? Watch this movie on a gloomy autumn day. 2*-
