The film stars Jennifer Aniston (The Good Girl, Friends tv), and Jason Bateman (Juno, Hancock). It also stars Jeff Goldblum (Independance Day, Jurassic Park) and Patrick Wilson (Angels in America).
The movie is standard fare for a romantic comedy. Aniston gets a sperm doner. Her neurotic best friend, Bateman, objects and ends up has to substitue his own sperm. Aniston moves away for seven years and comes back with her seven year old son and reconnects with Bateman.
I rated the movie as a B, B+. The plot may not appeal to all or seem contrived. If you are in the mood for something light and wont have to think too much about go and see it. One thing I liked about the movie is the 7 year old son in the movie is not perfect. I think that has something to do with why the movie connected wth me. Batemans character also has flaws.. The fact that they are not movie perfect is a good thing. Hollywood has a bad habit of making fun of people who are diffrent but in this movie they don't, that is a plus for me.
