Why it’s a Weeknight Watch

It's still drawing plenty of interest, but middling reviews (53% on Rotten Tomatoes) and a lukewarm 6.2 out of 10 from audiences held it back. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for romantics and anyone who wants a laugh. If you loved Juno or The Apartment, start here.
The mood
Funny with heart, romantic.
The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 1 hr 41 min.
What might put you off
Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.

Kassie is a smart, fun-loving single woman who, despite her neurotic best friend Wally’s objections, decides it’s time to have a baby – even if it means doing it herself… with a little help from a charming sperm donor. But, unbeknownst to her, Kassie’s plans go awry because of a last-minute switch that isn’t discovered until seven years later… when Wally gets acquainted with Kassie’s cute, though slightly neurotic, son.
