So much genuine talent wasted in this blah rather mean spirited purported comedy which has nary a laugh within. Watch only if you want to see many fine performers employed in a project beneath any of their talents.

A romantic comedy so slick you can see the reflection of a hundred better movies in it. Full Review
This would be a stultifyingly incestuous affair even if all the jokes about fertilization weren't so tiresomely lame and predictable.

This one's all labor pains, and, in the end, nothing gets delivered.
Somehow wastes an impressive cast of otherwise talented British comics and actors. Full Review
