- TriviaGrant's arrest in Los Angeles (June 27, 1995), and his subsequent appearance on The Tonight Show starring Jay Leno, two days before the release of this movie, not only boosted the box-office take, despite unfavorable reviews, it also catapulted Leno's ratings over and above rival David Letterman's for the first time.
- GoofsWhen Rebecca is to be given an epidural, the doctor walks in with a huge needle. Epidurals are not administered that way. It is a procedure that takes at least 10-15 minutes.

The movie is about a middle aged couple, Samuel and Rebecca, who live together and have the usual no commitment-no worries lifestyle. But Rebecca suddenly discovers that she will have a baby and this is where the story begins.
The first part of the movie was great, but afterwards there's too much overacting with exaggerated jokes. Less of the jokes would have been better and I would have been happier for more development of the inner feelings and development of Samuel and Rebecca. The end of the movie was a big disappointment for me; I expected something more serious and intimate.
Hugh Grant plays quite well these romantic comedy roles, but after the tenth comedy from him, it is getting boring. He remembers me to Meg Ryan, who did excellent in 'When Harry Met Sally' and in 'Sleepless in Seattle', but since then I see almost the same smiles, gestures, interpretations again and again from her. As for Julianne Moore, she just surprised me with her wonderful interpretation in 'Far From Heaven' or in the 'Hours', but ever since then, she's just doing average. 'The Forgotten', the 'Laws of Attraction' are OK movies, but she can do much better than these. I hope she will come out soon with a film where she can show what she is capable of.
So, there are just too many silly jokes in this film to be a comedy, and it only got an average acting performance. In fact, I would rather classify this movie as 'Family', as I think kids would really enjoy this kind of stuff. But as a comedy, it only gets 5/10 at me.
