It's took me 3 goes to get through it as I kept falling asleep. This was over 3 days. Finally I watched it all. It's not really LOL funny. It's just kind of cringe like you can't look away.
I'm reminded of Peter Sellers in The Party. Now that's a pretty funny movie. If you're going to have a movie set over the length of one night there are far better than this film.
I didn't like how utterly tame and tense the party was. The premise kept it going for me. Mainly to see how she was going to lure the next donor into position(s). ;)
There are some interesting moments like with the artist that was at least something different.

So many people trashing this movie. Did you read the preview? Watch the trailer? How could you expect anything different. Low budget beating alot of other bombs out there, and trust me I checked in advance. Mildly funny, a few laughs, the Goldblum impersonation was great. What was up with Rob Cordy being the responsible one? 100 others out there just like this, it passed a Monday evening for me, no complaints. And girlfriend got what she was asking for with that ending. This review is asking me to provide 90 more characters in order to submit, I'm not sure how much more i can say, it is what it is.
It was an interesting film that brought the desperation of a woman that is losing her battle with time and how that leads to a crazy situation.
Overall I thought this film had some funny moments. It is definitely tailored for an adult audience but does not have much of any nudity or graphic scenes. I think it speaks to the heart of the midlife of womanhood and the unapologetic means as to which a woman will go to in order to fulfill herself.
Of course this subject is taboo to the society at large as we find it difficult to understand how someone could go outside of the norms to have a child, but that is what movies are for. They explore the extremes and add comedy to them.
If you have 90 minutes for a light, funny, and thought provoking film I would suggest to give this a try. I don't think this got a fair shake.

This movie was mindless entertainment. Not awful, just not great. Lots of good actors.
One giant complaint is the soundtrack is SO LOUD thru most of the movie it's really distracting and sometimes overshadows the actors words. Who ever edited this did a HORRENDOUS JOB. I really don't understand how this was released in this state because it's brutally apparent how terrible and inconsistent the sound is. I'm not sure if they just started editing and saw how bad the movie was so just gave up and didn't spend anymore time or money on it. Again it's a shame because I like a lot of the actors and was looking for a mindless movie to watch however having to turn the volume up and down just to get through the movie. Do better.

If you're as big of a fan of Rob Corrdry shows like Childrens Hospital as I am you'll be disappointed here. Despite having the all star comedic cast that we've seen in series like Burning Love and Medical Police, there are no laughs here. Looks like the writer/director has no apparent connection to this group of comedians/actors from before. Not according to his credits so i dont know how he assembled them, only to squander their talents with this hard to watch movie. Its way too serious to come across as comedy, even though its ridiculous at times. I read Medical Police might have a season 2 so let's forget this flick and look for that.
