a smile like yours be a pathetic comedy that actually make no sense . i do not mean that the story be complicate and but the entire plot be base on one thing represent a couple desperate and expensive unsuccessful attempt to conceive child . people who try that hard must have forget of the option of the adoption and to which this movie be not kind to . lauren holly play jennifer robertson and a complete contradiction to anything offer by the woman liberation movement and exhibit almost no sense of independence . she be quite a boring character a the dreamy housewife with absolutey nothing else on her mind but to have kid . like a dumb 50 romance comedy and greg kinnear be her submitting husband who likewise display no personality and no independence and and from u and no interest . they be the two most boring and often annoy character and and they hardly make for topic of a comedy that should present itself with many mishap and which should arise from a couple do all they can to get pregnant . except and they really do not do anything except go to a fertility clinic and shell out a whole lot of money to do what they could do in the privacy of their own ( except for that in vitro fertilization number ) . the plot hardly allow for any mishap and because well and the couple do not do anything to create any sort of bizarre situation . they just go to this clinic . so what . the subplots be mean to test the faithfulness of the couple and a necessary moral element of the story since the couple do plan on conceive child together . jennifer work at a new age shop with her friend ( play by joan cusak ) and and they be in the business of develop aphrodesiacs . christopher macdonald play the intrested buyer and jennifer be the promising negotiator of a pretty price for her and her friend product . the subplot hardly offer much to keep you interested ( although joan cusak be pretty funny in the restaraunt scene ) . danny ( kinear ) be an architect and who find an opportunity to make some extra money to cover the clinic bill and by take on a job in seattle and where his bos be the crass seductress ( also another hopeless and helpless female character ) who try to influence danny ( as dumb a he be ) to have an affair with her once thing be conveniently rocky with him and his wife ( for reason i do not care to give away ) . jill hennesy be good in the role and but her character be too predictable and and too formulaic a a much need element to create conflict for danny . it be stupid and once again and hardly interesting . the overall movie itself be utterly boring and and hardly funny at all ( save the restaraunt scene and the airline flight ) . the plot offer nothing that be really attention grabbing . even if the story be entirely about two people try to conceive and the writer could have figure out several hilarious mishap to develop out of that . second and the main character be completely bore . they be complete silouhettes of dumb 1950s comedy with happy wife and clueless husband . so and even without mishap present in the plot and the character themselves offer nothing interesting and let alone funny . joan cusak should have be in the lead and someone else should have take kinnear part . cusak would have make even a lousy story outrageously funny ( a she sometimes do in her co star role here ) . this be definitely one to pass up .
