This movie isn't great, but it looks nice. The story is not exciting, the humor is quite bland and not in a positive sense and the acting is mediocre. For example, those recordings of those commercials are really too bland for words. But there is still a certain chemistry between the actors that makes you keep watching. The story also appeals to the imagination.

I know about Ted Danson that he was in Cheers, but I never saw that; I did like him as a grumbler in Loch Ness and Becker, and he does well here too. He has great comedic timing, plays everything very loosely and can ridicule his character in a very catchy way without losing his face as an actor, and he's the main reason for me why the slightly corny premise is such an entertaining and sometimes even heartwarming film with the right mix of slapstick and romance. For Whoopi Goldberg this is all gefundenes Fressen, Nia Long looks adorable and Will Smith still has a lot to learn (but then also has a most thankless role). Well, movies that you had the lowest expectations can sometimes turn out to be the most enjoyable. Anyone notice the decorative cowboy boots on Danson's television?

Mediocre film in which a young woman finds out that she was conceived with a sperm donor. In itself quite a nice fact for a comedy like this. Unfortunately, the humor is on the bland side. The cast is also a bit nicer on paper than in the movie itself.
