There IS a good film to be made about a woman who works in admissions at an Ivy-league school, and/or a woman discovering that she may have more of an instinct to be a mother than she first thought. But it’s not this sadly underwritten rom-com attempt. Something more serious, with a few laughs thrown in, might have worked better. Instead we get supbar sitcom characters like Lily Tomlin’s, who really seemed to be phoning it in.

Outside of Tomlin, I can’t fault any of the acting–I thought Nat Wolff in particular did a great job at playing super-intelligent without coming across as arrogant or as someone with Asperger’s. It’s the lazy script, the direction, and the editing that all fail this movie.
