    Considering this sounded so icky I did not even want to watch it,, I was quite pleasantly surprised. First 20 minutes or so didn't really like it, but it does get quite amusing further in. Ending of course is totally predictable and a bit vomit inducing, but to be fair, it is a... read morell in the title - there was never any other way this could end.. Heather Graham also does a reasonable English accent in this and is very likeable. Not bad for light viewing and a few laughs.

    Fairly predictable movie. I was actually bored during it and I'm amazed that I finished it. I thought it might be funny because of the humorous premise so I gave it a chance. It was mostly just a stupid waste of time.

    Miss Conception tells the story of an attractive young woman Georgina (Heather Graham) who finds out that she only has 4 days left to conceive. . The problem is that her longtime boyfriend (Tom Ellis) has no desire to be a daddy, and after getting into a fight with him, Georgina ... read moreis forced to look elsewhere for sperm-donor options. This leads to some funny situations as she sets about luring a man (and a turkey baster) to make her pregnant.
    Heather Graham is obviously miscast here because I find it extremely hard to believe that despite being beautiful and the boss of some macho construction workers she would find it as hard as she did to get a donor for her baby.

    Funny in it's parts, but really, stupid concept.

    Good movie. Tons of laughter. Here is an interesting movie about a mid-30's woman who realizes that she has reached the last stage of chances to get pregnant and have a child of her own. Despite her boyfriend's distaste for children, she is determined to achieve her goal regardle... read moress. Heather Graham, Orlando Seale, and Mia Kirschner are absolutely great. Fantastic music. Definitely worthy.

    This movie is a bunch of fluff and it is embarrassing to even consider this a chick flick because it didn't have any substance at all. Heather Graham has been typecast in these horrible movies and I think that it would be great to see her in a different role.

    Fun movie to watch when you're bored in bed with the stomach flu. At least it won't make you vomit any more!
    Watch it if you like Heather Graham like I do. Just don't use her accent against her!

    Slightly boring but happy she actually got pregnant... that would have been a horrible ending had she not! Disappointment is not fun. =(
  • March 30, 2009
    It was an ok movie just watching it one time. I can't believe some of the things she went through to get pregnant. Some were pretty funny and gross lol. You kind of can tell whats going to happen next.
  • September 4, 2008
    Cute moments here or there, but overall the series of contrived circumstances and kinda half-assed or obvious jokes wears thin.

    Possibly worth a rental if you want something harmless and fun to kill a few hours with.

Graham is charming, but Miss Conception is a cloddish biological-clock bedroom farce. Full Review

Miss Conception isn't so much a movie as an extended sitcom -- it looks like one, it acts like one, it reduces everything to the lowest common denominator like one. Full Review

It feels more like a small-screen distraction.

Miscast and miscalculated, Miss Conception hopes to collect on Hollywood's recent baby-on-board craze, delivering instead the least credible take on human pregnancy since Arnold Schwarzenegger gave bi... Full Review

A misconceived hodge podge of genuine romantic comedy and plastic story Full Review

Heather Huntington, ReelzChannel.com

A pretty innocuous and bland bit of fluff, although some will undoubtedly be annoyed that it furthers the myth that all women in their 30s have insane baby-fever. Full Review

It's worth a look to see Graham flourish away from the punishing Hollywood radar, delivering a tender, sillyheart performance that restores some faith in her skill, and singlehandedly makes a formulai... Full Review

Eric Styles and writer Camilla Leslie have made a punishingly unfunny trifle about sex, love and maternity in which both women and men are flatter than magazines--walking, talking issues of Lady's Hom... Full Review

It doesn't take long to recognize this cloyingly cute comedy for what it really is: misconceived. Full Review

A film that views heterosexual relationships with the sensitivity of a beer commercial. Full Review
