Warm-hearted comedy

Rating: 8/10 (21 July 2007)

A warm-hearted and good-natured romantic comedy with just enough off-beat moments to keep the viewer entertained. Rather long and occasionally in your face (a moment of crowning glory in fact) but so suffused with family values so as to placate the most disapproving moralist. It's nice to see the leading man as an overweight slob, but the morality of the piece means that his love affair with the beautiful subject of his one night stand will bring out his better aspects. The American Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists might take umbrage at the portrayal of some of their members but it is hard too see anyone else being offended by this movie.
