Miss Conception

Here we have Heather Graham (which, by the way, where has she been?) sitting with a doctor who's telling her she only has one egg left and then she won't be able to have a baby. I thought usually women were a little older than 38 before they hit menopause, but who am I to quibble with the facts of this movie? After all, it also expects us to believe that Graham is British (although it's not exactly clear why she's British since the movie tackles topic that could happen pretty much anywhere). Heather's friend Mia Kirshner (also British here, by the way) is at the doctor with Heather (although appears not to be her girlfriend) and interprets the doctor's warning as, "It's bye-bye baby, hello moustache." What a supportive friend. And oh so hilarious. So, now Heather's biological tock is clicking, and she and her friends are out to get her pregnant at any expense. She appears to even be attempting to have sex with an unwilling participant in a hotel room. The maid walks in and he cries, "Help me" as Heather says, "Can you come back later?" Yes, because rape jokes are so funny. I think I'd take Mia's moustache joke over this. The real highlight of the trailer, though, is that they spelled Mia Kirshner's name wrong. Someone obviously considered her a big enough star to name her in the trailer with BIG LETTERS, right after Heather Graham, but not a big enough star to actually bother to spell her name correctly. Classy.
