Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman star in a witty romantic comedy about love, parenthood and the ultimate mix-up!
Attractive singleton Kassie (Jennifer Aniston) decides she wants to have a baby. Despite the objections of her neurotic best friend Wally (Jason Bateman), she chooses to go it alone, with the services of handsome and charming sperm donor Roland (Patrick Wilson). Wally has always had feelings for Kassie, but as his friend (Jeff Goldblum) points out, he missed his chance and she put him in the 'friend zone'. But things don't go to plan, as Wally gets so drunk at Kassie's 'insemination party' that he accidentally spills Roland's handiwork and ends up replacing it with his own. Seven years later, Kassie returns to New York along with precocious - but neurotic - son Sebastian (Thomas Robinson). Wally forms a bond with this loveable mini-version of himself, but the bad news is that Roland in the picture too...

You should see it because: From the people who brought us 'Little Miss Sunshine' and 'Juno', they're calling this "the most unexpected comedy ever conceived."
