Barely watchable

Rating: 2/10 (11 November 2008)

I finally got around to watching this movie out of sheer boredom and the lack of anything else on cable that night. I actually watched it twice in the hopes of finding some redeeming parts or some degree of depth. I have to admit that Jennifer Garner managed to capture perfectly the uptight desperation of the mid to late-30's childless woman. Jason Bateman did a reasonably good job of playing the soon to be railroaded into fatherhood husband. Otherwise, the whole "don't blink or you'll miss some snappy dialogue" is completely overdone. The entire premise of the all knowing, mature beyond her years ubercool teen getting pregnant is completely implausible. A completely over-rated film.
