I was expecting a bit more of the wry and understated humor that I know both of the principals are capable of. Especially, when you label it "from the people who brought you 'Juno' " it misrepresents the type of movie this is.
This is a sweet movie, where people with good intentions have to face a couple of key mistakes and start to move on in the direction that's truly best for them. Aniston's character, Kassie, wants to be a mother, despite not finding a mate and satisfied only to find a source of genetic material. Bateman's character, Wally, wants her to be happy, but he seems to know that she's grasping for something.
Through a strange, but believable series of events, the switch occurs and Wally especially must face something unexpected when he's reunited with Kassie and her 6 year old son Sebastian.
This is far from the best film for either of the leads, and it's nothing even remotely close to a romantic comedy. It's not very comedic or very romantic. It's quirky, which is perhaps the only thing it has in common with "Juno." There really isn't any chemistry between Aniston and Bateman, despite their very easygoing natures.
It's a sweet film, but I believe it must have looked better on paper than it did on film.
