This film could be classified into a group which one might call 'good laughs with significant moral: to go'.
Throughout this flick grins are guaranteed and any didactic tone is barely palpable but for one scene when it was a bit irritating. The ultrasound scene, well, was just too lofty and lacked some of that down to earth approach as in the corresponding scene in Juno.
The main lead make a cute couple and both give convincing performances, no questions there. Joanna's and Ian's 'ups and downs' introduce the problem of cultural identity in today's crazy realm of globalization where one could expect that any culture-clash bash should be a fading memory. My only gripe is about Joanna's sudden transformation from responsible pregnant gal to bike riding and partying airhead! Her gay chum – Marcus – who takes care of female best-friend in crisis - is hilarious but the character should be less conventional.
A 'pro' worth mentioning: cinematography – definitely a visual pleasure, great shots of Calif. landscapes and it's high time we got to see Poland's DULL and GRAY capitol in such lively colors.
This story is not just laughs, flowers, tears turning to kisses, incident leading to love it gives an opportunity to drop one or two XS & XL questions. The part when Joanna tries to convince Ian that faced with an itty bitty surprise they both should take responsibility (and the oath) struck me as absurd at first – but then one starts to wonder... Nice and easy, and gave me a bit of worthwhile afterthought.
