We begin in the present day with sexy mother Kyra Sedgwick (as Emily Stoll) and cute 6-year-old son Dominic Scott Kay (as "Loverboy" Paul) in a car. She tells him how she wanted to have a baby ("Loverboy") desperately. Her trying to get pregnant takes up the first flashback sequence. When artificial insemination doesn't work out, Ms. Sedgwick decides it's best to receive "multiple ejaculations from different sources," or, "many men equals no father." The simulated library encounter doesn't even look close enough to be making the necessary contact, but eventually Sedgwick is successfully a mother...
Next flashback series goes farther back in time, to introduce Sedgwick as a little girl with self-absorbed parents Kevin Bacon (as Mark) and Marisa Tomei (as Sybil). This seems to be saying something about Sedgwick's character, and may be predicting problems for her son. However, none of it is really very clear. Not sure what to make of the story, although Sedgwick and Mr. Bacon (her husband, also the director) do okay. A look at the credits shows most of the Bacon family was involved with the making of "Loverboy". The topic is unsavory, but ripe with dramatic possibilities; herein, they are not fully realized.
