Featured review
In San Francisco, Danny Robertson (Greg Kinnear) and his wife Jennifer (Lauren Holly) are happily married except they disagree on having a baby. Steve Harris (Jay Thomas) is his best friend and works for him on his construction site. Lindsay Hamilton (Jill Hennessy) is the hot new architect. Jennifer runs a perfume shop with her best friend Nancy Tellen (Joan Cusack).
Nothing is truly offensive but this is terribly flat like the couple's singing. It's meant to be funny but it's just mildly annoying. Neither Kinnear nor Holly are real comedians. They could be good if the comedic material is great. That's not this movie. The material is not close to being funny. Maybe if one of them is played by a good comedian. The jokes are barely jokes even if they're performed perfectly. This has the comedic roadmap but lacks the funny bone to write the jokes. It has the structure but not the stuffing to fill it out. It doesn't help that fertility is not automatically funny and the writing has nothing funny for it.
