    “Trying” has an impish sense of humor, but it tops its comedy with a great heart.

    It feels that Trying is going to try (pun intended) to get the emotional wringer of the adoption process right instead of falling back on TV cliches about it. It also helps that Smith and Spall play a couple that are great together and you want to see get what they’ve been hoping for.

    The zingy script is strongly performed but I spent too much of Trying being faintly irritated by the characters and the cynical way it’s all styled.
