A film we hereby proclaim the finest fertility comedy ever made, in the faint hope that another will not be attempted.
We hate to say it, but we can't find anywhere to view this film.

Sabotages itself by trying too hard. The worst of it is that Maybe Baby feels very much like an Englishman's attempt to make a Nora Ephron movie, all warm and squishy in a decidedly American way.
