    Having triumphed on the small screen with Our Friends in the North, director Simon Cellan Jones and screenwriter Peter Flannery remain on Tyneside for this mirthless romantic comedy. Despite its meticulous contrivances, the storyline refuses to slot together as neatly as the fitted kitchen that the romantically attached Richard Roxburgh installs for pregnant footballer's wife, Justine Waddell. Consequently it's hard to summon up much enthusiasm, let alone sympathy, for their plight — both are trapped in loveless marriages and being pushed into parenthood by their respective spouses. The grossest miscalculation, however, is Jonathan Cake's word-mangling turn as an Italian soccer star that's never funny, just insulting.

  • Dull romance that is mired in cliché and corn.

    very good

    This is very good British film with some excellent humour. It's about two couples and their struggle to have children, except that one partner in each couple doesn't want kids. It's also a romance, but the film is definitely not a 'girlie' flick. It will appeal to most people. Definitely worth watching.
