When Zoe (Rose Matafeo) and Tim (Matthew Lewis) find out they are having a baby, they resolve to not let parenthood change them. Tim runs towards being a dad, while Zoe runs away from being a mum. Terrified that her life won’t be her own anymore, Zoe is still determined to tick off a list of their wildest dreams before the baby arrives. Zoe’s increasing denial about her impending birth pushes her, and her relationship, to the limit.

Lewis is a romantic revelation and Matafeo-a known comedy presence at home-is brash and bittersweet in this formulaicbut optimisticromantic-comedy.

Despite not offering any surprises, interesting plot points are often dropped before they get going, there are moments that genuinely charm and make you laugh,

Aussie audiences will be familiar with Rachel House from Hunt for the Wilderpeople, and she steals her one scene here as a high school principal.

It's got a snappy script, a nice soundtrack and celebrates the overlooked tree-climbing community, but Kiwi rom-com is brilliant mostly thanks to two great lead performances.

With appealing leads decently fulfilling their comedic roles with meaningful strain, this humorous existential take on impending parenthood is oft nonsensical when funnily ineffective if not empathetic enough to grasp their conflicting anxieties. (B)

Rose Matafeo makes me heave at the sight of her so the idea of watching a movie with her as the main character is revolting to me.

A cute film to past the time, some funny moments but her denial got a bit repetitive.

Nothing humorous about this movie. It's about an unlikable narcissus who's pregnancy prevents her from doing what she wants to do. Even the "happy ending" does nothing to save this movie....it sucked!

I loved this movie because it demonstrated the reality that pregnancy and motherhood do not define a woman or a marriage/romantic relationship. The main characters' rugged individualism allowed for healthy ways of relating and disagreeing ultimately ending with a positive outlook for their future.

The Lead Actress Is A Wet-Blanket..As Much As It Tries To Get Funny Moments Going, The Push By Her Actor-Compadre Is Just Not Reciprocating In Jokes Hitting Their Mark. Maybe Story Looked Good On Paper!? I Didn't Find It Funny.
