Synopsis:

This movie is typically predictable, of this sort of chick-flick, women only film. With a lot of actors (Hugh Grant, Julianne Moore, Tom Arnold, Joan Cusack and Jeff Goldblum, the latter playing their usual kooky parts), you feel swamped by the stars, but yet, who is the true main star? Robin Williams. He is hilarious, as soon as he appears. The movie is worth watching for him alone, and you fill be in fits of laughter, by the finale, the double-labour scene. For a guy who dumps his girlfriend, and then decides he wants her BACK, Samuel (Hugh Grant) doesn't seem to try to hard! But then again, neither does Rebecca. But then, I'd let Samuel do all the chasing personally! Jeff Goldblum plays his 'best friend', and manages to throw in any of his old nonsense (that makes sense to him, but to no one else) and it works in the script. I don't think so. He didn't have much to do in the movie, one minute he's telling Samuel to be with Rebecca, embrace fatherhood, and then he's telling him that he dumped his girlfriend because she wanted his "essence". Uh-huh.

Tom Arnold plays a very over-the-top role, alongside his baby-making machine, played by Joan Cusack. Oh, I'm sorry, you mean that's his wife?! Could've fooled me! As Samuel so rightly says, you need a licence to drive a car, but anyone can become a parent, and sometimes a very lousy one. I'm not saying that Tom & Joan's character are lousy parents (there's not much interaction between them and the kids), it's just - she must have spent half her married life being pregnant! Why was Hugh Grant given the main billing for this movie? To me, this will always be a Robin Williams. He's so funny, especially when he gets his words muddled, or says the completely wrong thing, and still manages a big cheesy grin. And the Russian accent never falters!
