I give this movie a 5/10. For most people who intend to watch this movie there maybe somethings you'd like to know in order to decide whether to go ahead and rent it. So I'll provide the ups and downs.

Downs : Heather Graham doesn't do a very bad job at portraying the character she plays, the movie's characters are just a little weak. For a character (girl) who is trying/wanting to get pregnant in the movie, almost every scene has alcohol in it. And in this age or say generation where communication is much more prevalent than the middle ages, its not so hard to get in touch with your half broken up boyfriend for 4-5 days. The movie is supposed to have some jokes I heard. I didn't really succumb to any of them.

After having said all that some Ups : Despite have weak characters play the movie, the storyline wasn't so bad. Every move was intended to be a little suspenseful and Heather of course looks terrific in the movie.

It takes a sexy American actress posing as British to make this film watchable? No. The only possible audience for this film is the women who are close to menopause and want children. Men, stay away!

If you thought that this is a romantic movie, think again. It is all about the babies. This girl learns that she really has only one chance left to have a child, lest she turns barren. Her boyfriend is not the baby loving type, so she quickly dumps him (with the whining reason that having a baby is the most important thing for her) and proceeds on planning to lure a man to make her pregnant.

The only positive thing going for her is that she tries to get in touch with her former boyfriend only to be blocked by the new girlfriend wanna-be.

What follows are pathetic attempts to make men sleep with her (I mean, how hard can it be?!) and then a silly happy ending, since the guy really loved her, even with all the deception and self-centricity.

Bottom line: if a guy listens to what his body is telling him and shags lots of women, he is a bad bad boy. If a woman listens to her body and tries to fornicate with as many men as possible in order to have a child, she is a sensible victim of premature menopause. Gah!

This was an extremely uncomfortable movie. First of all, it's a movie about a girl who wants to have a baby so badly. She looks to be in her late 20's early 30's, and she wants to have a baby with her current boyfriend. When he clearly isn't ready…she storms off, and leaves him. She goes to the doctor, because she is afraid that she is too old to have kids. When the doctor says she's got one last shot at having a child...she tries to get ahold of her boyfriend...but she can't get ahold of him because his new assistant wants her boyfriend and sabatages her calls. So, thinking that her boyfriend left her for good...she tries to find three different handsome strangers...and...well, just use your imagination. It was uncomfortable...but in the end, her boyfriend realizes that his co-worker is rejecting his girlfriends calls, and runs back to her...but not in time. Still, it has a happy ending. It was OK...just uncomfortable to watch...not a date night movie.

Georgina (Heather Graham) is a mid-thirties British woman with a big problem. Pining to be a mother, she learns that she is going into pre-mature menopause and that she may have only weeks to conceive a child. Since she has been in love with a nice man, Zak (Tom Ellis) for six years, she has a father-to-be in waiting. But, horrors! At a gathering of relatives to celebrate the birth of Zak's sister's daughter, Georgina is appalled that Zak is less than enthusiastic about his new niece and that he blames a broken bit of sculpture on his preschooler nephew instead of confessing his own guilt. Once back in the car, they fight and Zak moves in with a friend. The next day, Georgina relents, knowing her desperation for pregnancy, and tries to contact Zak. But, alas, he is on assignment at some remote island, without cellphone reception and WITH a pretty co-worker. Now, Georgina has to find a "new" man fast, so her friends help her plot out some ideas. From heading toward the funeral of a young skydiver, placing an ad to sublet her apartment to a young male, or looking twice at the burly man at work, Georgina is racing against her biological clock. Can she succeed in getting what she wants? This is a fine view for romcom fans everywhere, for the plot is funny and clever. Just watching Georgina "hook up" with her handsome co-worker, only to find out at a critical moment that he has had the mumps and is now shooting blanks, is truly comical. But, that's not the only good mo, as the plot is one zany encounter after another. The cast is really nice, with Graham, Ellis, Mia Kirchner, and others doing a great job. What a treat to see Nicholas Le Prevost, as the infertility doctor, years after his nice turn in The Jewel in the Crown. Sets, costumes, direction, and productions niceties are also fine. So, if you love those funny tales of love, be assured that you will find this one to be a "hit" and not a "miss". Enjoy.
