Clearly one of the most boring movies I've ever seen. The lead character (if you can call her that)..... Jennifer Westfeldt, makes the movie almost unwatchable because she can't act, and her "overuse of plastic surgery" is so abhorrent that it's hard to watch her. I think her husband is famous, which explains why she got a movie. Anyway, the movie's not funny, extremely predictable and slow. Don't watch this, go watch paint dry instead. It had other GREAT actors in it, which made me think it would be good, but it was so disappointing!

Two plutonic friends decide to have a baby but not marry, to avoid the toll kids may have on their marriage. The characters seem uninspired and personal interaction seemed stale. Passionless. The humor wasn't there for me. I kept waiting for the punch line, even the actors seemed stiff and bored. Jennifer Westfeldt, the films writer ,director, and actor made this slow mover hard to really get into, with predictable scenes and ending. Kristin Wiig's character maybe could have added some humor had the character hadn't been hidden in the background. Although slow moving this was entertaining I just kept waiting for the pace to speed up.

Jennifer Westfeldt and Adam Scott play best friends who both want kids but not all the crap that comes with marriage and decide to have a baby with no relationship strings attached. This movie belongs to the long tradition of films that feel like two or three seasons of a diverting sitcom compressed into a two-hour running time. So it's probably no spoiler to reveal that Westfeldt and Scott realize that they've been fooling themselves all along, are meant for each other, and decide to commit to each other and their baby.The ending feels completely wrong and forced for many reasons, not the least of which is that Westfeldt and Scott have no chemistry together. I happen to really like Westfeldt, but I can completely see why her neurotic screen persona would drive other people crazy. This was the first thing of any consequence I'd ever seen Scott in, and there's something just flat out unlikable about him as an actor and his character that left a huge hurdle for me to get over. But beyond that, the movie isn't half bad, and it's refreshing for once to see a movie about relationships with children actually feature the children. Kids are in this movie all the time, and it's a far more realistic portrayal of what it's actually like to be a parent than the films in which kids are always off screen and completely silent.The group of actors that play the main couple's friends includes the likes of Jon Hamm, Mya Rudolph, and most notably, Kristen Wiig, who is saddled with perhaps the most thankless role given to any actor in recent years, who has virtually nothing funny to do despite her tremendous gifts as a comedienne, and who yet managed to captivate me in every scene she appeared in. Could she have dramatic gifts as an actress that haven't yet been tapped? Grade: B

There's no way to sugarcoat this review with film class rhetoric to describe the film. It was a romantic drama with a slight dash…a slight dash…of comedy. I cried more than I thought to laugh at any of these scenes, and I'm a dude. I enjoy romantic moments in movies, what can I say. The scene with Adam Scott finessing the dinner he bought for his baby-mama: yeah, I cried. It was thoughtful. I cried when she was brought to confession (and ultimate realization later in the film) about her feelings for her baby-daddy.However, this falls under the "new progressive social ideas and experiments" category of film script which can make the viewer more perplexed about how a friendship like the one shared in the movie would actually be like than to exhibit known-emotions about such a situation. Story aside, the actors did great. I recognize them mostly from comedic and improv origins (and from various appearances on my favorite podcasts), but familiarity with the comedy-world aside, I was astounded at their ability to turn off the laughs and turn up the drama in these characters.The ending felt forced, to me, and the emotions and the dialogue was a little askew from what I can believe out of the two main characters. Some of the directing of the children (if I have to nitpick) was just ridiculous; it's as if every director feels that every child is rambunctious and uncontrollable around their parents in every social situation. The characters themselves were a bit "on model" with characters we've seen in other movies, too… even some who look alike (like Adam Scott reminds me of Tom Cruise in "Vanilla Sky" with his fancy job and New York living while trying to have sex with every suitable woman he chooses).I wish the video streaming service I watched it on didn't sell me the movie as a comedy; it was clearly drama throughout. I remember making my first chuckle to myself at 39 minutes into the movie. I had to give the movie 4/10 stars because it was right on the fence of making a good film (which would make it 5/10 stars), but the question I ask myself is "would you recommend this to anyone?" I have to say, no, which drops it down a peg.
