“I wanna baby. It’s like being hungry, or having to pee.” So says teacher April (Hunt), while wavering between useless hubbie Ben (Broderick) and neurotic single father Frank (Firth). This is a decidedly mature comedy drama, with Hunt on form both as director and star. It’s refreshing to see an actress so content to look her age - not so Bette Midler, who provides the laughs as April’s vain talkshow host mother. There’s food for thought in the pregnancy plot, although the narrative drags its heels towards a misty-eyed conclusion. And casting Salman Rushdie as a doctor is too distracting for words.
