I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Good concept, poorly executed.

KnotStronger

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

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.For daily movie reviews visit: kimsmoak.com now!

This film is about a woman who is told by the doctor that she has only four days left to become pregnant."Miss Conception" is obviously aimed at women who really want children. So, despite it being a romantic comedy, people who fall into any other demographic groups would find it contrived. I think Heather Graham is miscast, because she is too beautiful and attractive to have trouble to find the guy to make her pregnant. This is such a major plot hole which makes the story implausible. Other than that, the plot is light hearted, fun and comedic. It is a little slow, but it is still an enjoyable watch.

I thought it was pretty good. The plot centers around a 34-year old woman who is about to hit menopause early. I've always felt that Heather Graham is an undervalued actress who could go far with the right material, eg. "Broken" (2007) but I think that the plot would have been more credible with a slightly older looking actress, Graham still looks like 25. Perhaps the scenes with Zack's adventures in Ireland and his ditzy production assistant wasn't really essential to the plot. I never really understood why Georgina fancies Zack at all when the chemistry and emotional depth between Georgina and her friend Clem appears to be much deeper. The incident with the sperm sample and the birthday cake felt very contrived.I noticed the frequent use of "Darling" and "Sweetie" which at times made the movie sound like a P.G. Wodehouse novel or an episode of "Absolutely Fabulous". Kudos to first time screen writer Camilla Leslie for making a new twist on the romantic comedy formula.

A really sweet, funny, film that's a lighthearted take on the difficult subject of infertility. Heather Graham's wonderful - I know she's much maligned these days but she's such a charismatic and warm actress that you really feel for her character, Georgina, who's only got a few days left in which to get pregnant. I didn't know Mia Kirshner or Tom Ellis before but both were excellent, making the whole film really watchable. Both girls do well with their English accents, and the depiction of modern Britain (OK, I'm a Brit) was refreshing compared to the likes of Four Weddings, Love Actually etc., which are stodgy and stereotypical by comparison.
