Not entirely unpleasant

Rating: 7/10 (3 October 2007)

Birds do it, bees do it, even educated flees do it, let's do it, let's fall in love. It might have been the tag line for this film. When a party animal and a hard working ambitious girl end up in bed together neither of them consider the possible consequences. This is not entirely strange as they are both drunk. When the consequences do show themselves in the form of the girl being pregnant she pays him a visit and drops the bombshell on him.
Films like this one have been made before. Nine Months Later (1995) comes to mind but there are a lot more examples. This film isn't entirely different from any of them apart from one thing: it doesn't really pick a genre. Parts of it are comedy, parts of it are tragedy, parts of it are the basic high school/underpants junk, parts are feel good film. It does keep itself together pretty well though. The two of them combining is hard to believe but not so hard that it is impossible and even though it is as predictable as the cycle of night and day it isn't entirely unpleasant to watch.
Personally I would have liked to have seen a little less broad pick of genres. By selecting one or two less they could have made the film somewhat more stable, less chaotic, but it didn't work out completely bad.
