A great girlie film

A really sweet, funny, film that's a lighthearted take on the difficult subject of infertility. Heather Graham's wonderful - I know she's much maligned these days but she's such a charismatic and warm actress that you really feel for her character, Georgina, who's only got a few days left in which to get pregnant. I didn't know Mia Kirshner or Tom Ellis before but both were excellent, making the whole film really watchable. Both girls do well with their English accents, and the depiction of modern Britain (OK, I'm a Brit) was refreshing compared to the likes of Four Weddings, Love Actually etc., which are stodgy and stereotypical by comparison.
