Ed Helms plays a single man in his 40s, who hires a 26-year-old (Patti Harrison) to be his surrogate mother. They talk…for most of the movie. A few supporting characters have moments (Julio Torres is fun as a her eye-rolling gay friend).Ed Helms plays a single man in his 40s, who hires a 26-year-old (Patti Harrison) to be his surrogate mother. They talk…for most of the movie. A few supporting characters have moments (Julio Torres is fun as a her eye-rolling gay friend). Still, it’s mostly the duo. Luckily, they aren’t without charm: Helms with his awkward hesitancy and Harrison with her expressive eyes. Even though it’s billed as a comedy, there are essentially no laughs, just lots of awkward moments. It also never gains much emotional traction or variation in pacing, so it feels like elevated mumblecore.… Expand

It's not an ordinary comedy, but it's one that lumbers along even though it could be argued that from the comic treatment this should be lighter in narrative terms.

Even so, the unusual nature of their arrangement is evidently constructed for comedy, however and even at the risk of looking like an stereotype, one would believe that people looking for a baby in this way would be a gay couple, or a woman.

Seeing a straight man looking for a kid to raise on his own is not a taboo by any means, but thematically the film doesn't make the most of it, or in other words it doesn't do so in a way that feels organic.

Surprisingly Ed Helms makes it work as far as possible, but the one who stands out is Patti Harrison.
She's the most compelling element, humorously speaking.

I think this movie received more flattering reviews than its story deserved, but I would still recommend it.… Expand
