Jeanskynebu the audience applauded
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Tayloriona Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Tayyab Torres Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
shuyin131 I've been on a string of romantic comedies this month and I've never stopped a movie or fast forwarded to the end like this movie. Miss Conception tells the story of Georgina, a 34 year old woman who is entering an early menopause and only has 4 days left to conceive. Unluckily for her, she gets into a fight with her boyfriend and he leaves for work.As the title suggests, her main goal is to conceive a baby. During a 4 day period, she goes from zany encounter to encounter. This is where the film ultimately fails. The story would like us to believe that it's just that hard for her to get laid and in reality it's really not, especially a woman as beautiful as Heather Graham.Like all romantic comedies, the resolution is predictable. It's not that it's a bad thing, but the way that the events turned out, it makes you want to skip right to the end. It's pointless because there's nothing there to makes you want to keep watching. Even for fans of romantic comedies, I highly recommend against watching this film.
sumana-m21 I give this movie a 5/10. For most people who intend to watch this movie there maybe somethings you'd like to know in order to decide whether to go ahead and rent it. So I'll provide the ups and downs.Downs : Heather Graham doesn't do a very bad job at portraying the character she plays, the movie's characters are just a little weak. For a character (girl) who is trying/wanting to get pregnant in the movie, almost every scene has alcohol in it. And in this age or say generation where communication is much more prevalent than the middle ages, its not so hard to get in touch with your half broken up boyfriend for 4-5 days. The movie is supposed to have some jokes I heard. I didn't really succumb to any of them.After having said all that some Ups : Despite have weak characters play the movie, the storyline wasn't so bad. Every move was intended to be a little suspenseful and Heather of course looks terrific in the movie.
siderite It takes a sexy American actress posing as British to make this film watchable? No. The only possible audience for this film is the women who are close to menopause and want children. Men, stay away!If you thought that this is a romantic movie, think again. It is all about the babies. This girl learns that she really has only one chance left to have a child, lest she turns barren. Her boyfriend is not the baby loving type, so she quickly dumps him (with the whining reason that having a baby is the most important thing for her) and proceeds on planning to lure a man to make her pregnant.The only positive thing going for her is that she tries to get in touch with her former boyfriend only to be blocked by the new girlfriend wanna-be.What follows are pathetic attempts to make men sleep with her (I mean, how hard can it be?!) and then a silly happy ending, since the guy really loved her, even with all the deception and self-centricity.Bottom line: if a guy listens to what his body is telling him and shags lots of women, he is a bad bad boy. If a woman listens to her body and tries to fornicate with as many men as possible in order to have a child, she is a sensible victim of premature menopause. Gah!
njtomiami It was difficult to laugh at the supposed jokes, delivery and timing was really off. The only scene that caused me to laugh out loud was similar to a scene from "What about Mary" when Mary mistakenly uses a certain body fluid as hair gel.Why is the movie advertised as country of Orgin "Germany". It takes place in the UK with British and American actors. Nothing German here.Too many details are so unauthentic it was distracting, for example, our pretty petite lead character owns a construction company (more realistic if she was the secretary), the film production assistant has a Valley Girl accent (British accent would be more appropriate), The lead character is going though menopause at the age of 34 (at least make her 40 yrs old?). Pros about the movie: I enjoyed the character who played the macho construction guy. The best part about the movie is how gay friendly it was.
