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!

This is everything you would expect of a romantic comedy.Although predicable and formulaic, I still found this a good night in. Nice, relaxing no brain entertainment.All the characters seem very interesting although the movie doesn't explore any of these characters and just focuses on the two future love birds. Some of these other story lines may have been more interesting. For what this is (i.e. A lazy night in in front of the tele) this movie was OK.I do however wish writers would stop using swear words because they couldn't think of a word that would be more descriptive and intelligent.

I found this film to be surprisingly entertaining and well-done for low-budget fare. The performances are quite respectable - my beef is more with the lighting, and some bumpy editing. But who cares? I was entertained and engaged by both storyline and performances. The scene towards the end where he kisses her, hard, against the wall.... Well any even partially heterosexual woman will tell you, that is HOT! There are funny scenes galore here, and a fair amount of non-verbal funny, which I particularly enjoy. Pop up some popcorn, put up your feet, and lay your inner film critic down for a nap. Odds are, you won't regret it.

The premise of the film seems interesting; two great friends in a platonic relationship who chose to have a child together while they both pursue genuine romance. The script was also decent. There were comedic moments and it showed the more realistic side of adult relationships. However, whether the actors were at fault or the characters were just not good enough, it was hard to care about what happened to them. The characters being portrayed all lacked charisma, making it difficult not to be apathetic. By the end of it I couldn't really care less about how their relationships turned out or how well they had parented the child. Overall it was an okay film to pass the time when there is little else to do, but I certainly wouldn't make any kind of effort to watch it. Very disappointing.
