Drew is cute as always and so's Wilson

A dark comedy that's artificially dark and is never very funny.

There's a good movie somewhere in here trying to escape... the audience can relate to that desire.

Drew comes through for us. Her easy charm and winning smile put us back on track, giving us something familiar and wonderful to cling to.

The description of the movie on here isn't at all what I remember of it, but maybe I should see it again. I remember a romantic comedy involving a pregnant Drew Barrymore. I really liked it too, it was funny enough, and dramatic enough to make a good rom-com.
