I’m actually embarrassed to say I went to see this film. Last week was the Jewish Film Festival. Next week is the Hot Docs Film Festival. My granddaughter from Israel is currently here for a week. She was spending the afternoon with other family. I actually was at loose ends and decided to walk to the cinema. This was the only film I would even consider. All of the above is still a poor reason for going to this second rate film.
Jennifer Lopez is definitely not a great actress. She plays the part of Zoe. She runs a pet shop. She is unmarried and sees time slipping by. She desperately wants a child. She goes to a doctor for artificial insemination. It was a funny scene with her and the doctor.
While trying to catch a cab in a rain storm she meets the adorable Stan. They begin a relationship. The artificial insemination works and Zoe has to tell Stan she is pregnant.
Stan needs to decide if he wants to continue the relationship. The only good part of the film was looking at Stan. He was such a darling. He ran a farm. He had a shop selling gourmet food. He planned a date with Zoe in a secluded garden. The garden was filled with candles and the table was elegantly set. How romantic!
There are many silly scenes. This is not a deep plot and no thinking is required. You probably won’t even want to discuss the story after the film. You may want to go for a drink and fine food to make up for a ‘nothing’ film.
