Movie Preview: Miss Conception

Apr 28 2008 - 3:30pm

For many women, the idea of a constantly ticking biological clock is stressful at best, downright irritating at worst. Yet when it's handled well, the "single woman planning a family" movie schtick can be pretty fun to watch (see box office smash hit [1] Baby Mama for the most recent example).

On the other hand, it can be pretty painful when it's handled poorly — and I'm guessing that's what's happening with Miss Conception [2], which stars Heather Graham as a British woman (yep, she's sporting an accent in this movie) who discovers she has one egg left — and it will be gone in two weeks. Huh. I'm not sure this is even plausible, much less a worthwhile premise on which to build a quirky, slapstick comedy around . . . and yet, here we are.

Does a British-accented Heather Graham desperately trying to get herself pregnant via lots of sex look like a good time to you? I may be surprised, but I don't have high hopes for this one. The movie's set for release on June 6. To take a look at this trailer for yourself and tell me what you think, .
