Finally, a smart romantic comedy

Rating: 8/10 (11 August 2007)

I would actually rate this around 8.5, but that's because I had really low expectations to start with. I mean, can you imagine that the sexy yet insanely neurotic blonde from Grey's Anatomy would make a great comedy where she gets pregnant? I expected two thirds of the film to be screams of anger and screeches of estrogen. But no! This film was so funny and smart that I thought it must be Canadian!
Short story long: a night stand causes the emergence of a baby. There are issues since the mother is a career woman and the father is a higher-than-life chubby bonger.
What I liked most of the film is that the moments of frustration are resolved in mature, intelligent ways, not by bitching and punching. Also people are not really judged. You don't get to see a lousy bum elevated to "civilisation" just because he gets to slave around for 10 hours a day.
Bottom line: great comedy. Appealing both women and males. It does touch a sensitive subject, having children (I very much prefer murder and cataclysm to it), but it is worth it for a rom com.
