Best movie of this year hands down!

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

This was an extremely uncomfortable movie. First of all, it's a movie about a girl who wants to have a baby so badly. She looks to be in her late 20's early 30's, and she wants to have a baby with her current boyfriend. When he clearly isn't ready…she storms off, and leaves him. She goes to the doctor, because she is afraid that she is too old to have kids. When the doctor says she's got one last shot at having a child...she tries to get ahold of her boyfriend...but she can't get ahold of him because his new assistant wants her boyfriend and sabatages her calls. So, thinking that her boyfriend left her for good...she tries to find three different handsome strangers...and...well, just use your imagination. It was uncomfortable...but in the end, her boyfriend realizes that his co-worker is rejecting his girlfriends calls, and runs back to her...but not in time. Still, it has a happy ending. It was OK...just uncomfortable to watch...not a date night movie.For daily movie reviews visit: kimsmoak.com now!

Apparently, Georgina Salt's biological clock has been ticking a great deal faster than she ever could have imagined. For upon visiting a fertility clinic, the attractive young woman (Heather Graham) learns that she has only two weeks to go before her ovaries dry up, rendering her forever unable to have a baby. The problem is that her longtime boyfriend (Tom Ellis) has no desire to be a daddy, so Georgina is forced to look elsewhere for sperm-donor options. Her search leads her to employ all sorts of desperate measures, including advertising for a "lodger," picking off mourners at a funeral, hooking up with a muscle-bound exotic dancer, succumbing to the advances of a horny employee, pressuring her gay best friend to perform the service and, when all else fails, even turning to a semen-filled turkey baster to get the job done.Directed by Eric Styles, "Miss Conception" is a modestly amusing little British comedy filled with pleasant moments and droll performances, though, frankly, nothing in it is quite as teasy or clever as its punny title. On a sociopolitical level, the movie squares things with the feminists in the audience by counterbalancing Georgina's obsession with having a baby with the fact that she runs her own construction company. The one-note premise does lead to some contrivance and repetitiousness in the plotting, but the performances and consistently upbeat tone offset some of the movie's weaknesses.

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.

This was a poor movie. Heather Graham did a very poor role. During the movie, i didn't even once feel her character. She acted like a psycho from the start to the very end. The soundtrack of the movie was plain and boring. The other actors were quite good and convincing. Mia Kirshner did a very good job as a supporting actress. Tom Ellis appeared seldom during the movie and his character was not properly developed. I also had the feel that there were some scenes cut from the movie. I believe that Heather Graham ruined the movie with her role. The movie is a comedy, but the only time when I laugh was when they did a scene with a cake(inspired from American Pie). Yes, I paid more on the popcorn than I did on the ticket. Comparing the value of the popcorn with the value of the movie, all I can say is that the popcorn worth every penny.
