- 58Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanEntertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThis comedy about a couple who can't get pregnant is stuck between Judd Apatow's humane raunchiness and the American Pie series' smirky broadness.
- 42The PlaylistTodd GilchristThe PlaylistTodd GilchristOverall, Chandrasekhar's first tentative venture towards something slightly more sincere is undermined by, quite frankly, his irresistible urge to take the piss out of every sequence that might have been played even remotely seriously.
- 42The A.V. ClubScott TobiasThe A.V. ClubScott TobiasIt's raunchy/sweet in the "American Pie"/"40-Year-Old Virgin" tradition, and as dynamic as a glob of lazy sperm.
- 40Time OutTime OutMunn has proved on TV that she has solid timing, but she does little here other than look pretty and, when the plot calls for it, outraged. As for the likable Schneider, the "All the Real Girls" actor demonstrates that he's better off as a straight man than as a physical comedian.
- 40Village VoiceMelissa AndersonVillage VoiceMelissa AndersonThe zippy screwball energy - and fantastic roster of cameos - that mitigated the fratty humor of Broken Lizard's last movie, the restaurant send-up "The Slammin' Salmon," is missing here, resulting in generic, feeble laffs and an ending as sticky as the pilfered substance.
- 25Slant MagazineAndrew SchenkerSlant MagazineAndrew SchenkerA safe, laugh-free exercise that gets to have its fun, such as it is, because it's all in the service of the most conservative notions of domestic normality.
- 25Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertUtterly clueless about its tone and has no idea how relentlessly it is undercutting itself. By the time we arrive at the obligatory happy ending, which is perfunctory and automatic, I felt sort of insulted. If Chandrasekhar thinks his audience will laugh at his vulgarity, why does he believe it requires a feel-good ending?
- 25Boston GlobeTom RussoBoston GlobeTom RussoThe squirminess stands out here because there's so little going on the rest of the time.
- 20Arizona RepublicArizona RepublicNot even the snickering juvenile who lives in the deepest gutters of your brain will get a cheap thrill out of these antics.
- 20New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanNew York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanHow does a comedy troupe even get from the frat-humor antics of "Beerfest" to the middle-class suburbanality of Babymakers? Well, everybody gets old eventually. Growing up, on the other hand, is optional.
