Save your money for something good and enjoyable

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

This film is about a woman who is told by the doctor that she has only four days left to become pregnant."Miss Conception" is obviously aimed at women who really want children. So, despite it being a romantic comedy, people who fall into any other demographic groups would find it contrived. I think Heather Graham is miscast, because she is too beautiful and attractive to have trouble to find the guy to make her pregnant. This is such a major plot hole which makes the story implausible. Other than that, the plot is light hearted, fun and comedic. It is a little slow, but it is still an enjoyable watch.

I've been on a string of romantic comedies this month and I've never stopped a movie or fast forwarded to the end like this movie. Miss Conception tells the story of Georgina, a 34 year old woman who is entering an early menopause and only has 4 days left to conceive. Unluckily for her, she gets into a fight with her boyfriend and he leaves for work.As the title suggests, her main goal is to conceive a baby. During a 4 day period, she goes from zany encounter to encounter. This is where the film ultimately fails. The story would like us to believe that it's just that hard for her to get laid and in reality it's really not, especially a woman as beautiful as Heather Graham.Like all romantic comedies, the resolution is predictable. It's not that it's a bad thing, but the way that the events turned out, it makes you want to skip right to the end. It's pointless because there's nothing there to makes you want to keep watching. Even for fans of romantic comedies, I highly recommend against watching this film.

Georgina (Heather Graham) is a mid-thirties British woman with a big problem. Pining to be a mother, she learns that she is going into pre-mature menopause and that she may have only weeks to conceive a child. Since she has been in love with a nice man, Zak (Tom Ellis) for six years, she has a father-to-be in waiting. But, horrors! At a gathering of relatives to celebrate the birth of Zak's sister's daughter, Georgina is appalled that Zak is less than enthusiastic about his new niece and that he blames a broken bit of sculpture on his preschooler nephew instead of confessing his own guilt. Once back in the car, they fight and Zak moves in with a friend. The next day, Georgina relents, knowing her desperation for pregnancy, and tries to contact Zak. But, alas, he is on assignment at some remote island, without cellphone reception and WITH a pretty co-worker. Now, Georgina has to find a "new" man fast, so her friends help her plot out some ideas. From heading toward the funeral of a young skydiver, placing an ad to sublet her apartment to a young male, or looking twice at the burly man at work, Georgina is racing against her biological clock. Can she succeed in getting what she wants? This is a fine view for romcom fans everywhere, for the plot is funny and clever. Just watching Georgina "hook up" with her handsome co-worker, only to find out at a critical moment that he has had the mumps and is now shooting blanks, is truly comical. But, that's not the only good mo, as the plot is one zany encounter after another. The cast is really nice, with Graham, Ellis, Mia Kirchner, and others doing a great job. What a treat to see Nicholas Le Prevost, as the infertility doctor, years after his nice turn in The Jewel in the Crown. Sets, costumes, direction, and productions niceties are also fine. So, if you love those funny tales of love, be assured that you will find this one to be a "hit" and not a "miss". Enjoy.

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.
