Despite the title, there is very little that's amusing in this lukewarm comedy. And that's quite surprising, considering the combined talents of a cast that includes Gene Wilder, Christine Lahti, Mary Stuart Masterson and Robert Prosky. Perhaps Three Men and a Baby director Leonard Nimoy should have said no to this project when he learned it was based on a magazine article after all, one of the best-known scripts to emerge from the world of magazine journalism was Perfect, which was one of the worst movies of John Travolta's career. Likewise, this is, sadly, one of the worst of Nimoy's and Wilder's.

If you're feeling blue, do not watch this 'comedy'
This starts off so well, but quickly becomes one of those 'comedies' about real-life, somewhat distressing, issues. While there are occasional bursts of highly amusing slap-stick moments, this film about a couple that can't have a baby did not cheer me up at all. One of Gene Wilder's worse films.

If you enjoy Gene Wilder films you'll enjoy this
Nothing startlingly different about this role for Gene Wilder but if you enjoy his films you will enjoy this. A light-hearted gentle 'Sunday afternoon' sort of film - and there's nothing wrong with that when you're in the mood. I've never been a fan of Christine Lahti, even in her 'Chicago Hope' days, but she's watchable here.
