Kassie (Jennifer Aniston) and Wally (Jason Bateman) play long-time best friends who don't realize they are right for each other. When our heroine hears her biological alarm clock ringing she opts for artificial insemination because she is sick and tired of waiting for the right guy to show up. She finds a willing sperm donor Roland (Patrick Wilson) and even throws a party on the night she's to be knocked up. Wally shows up at the party, accidentally “hijacks” the donated sperm and replaces it his own but is too drunk to remember doing so. Kassie moves to Minnesota to raise her son, Sebastian (Thomas Robinson), but returns to New York seven years later and back into Wally life. Wally begins to see striking similarities between him and Sebastian and he begins to wonder if he could possibly be the father. Can he summon up the courage to tell Kassie, especially as she seems to be getting closer to impossibly wonderful Roland!
A sweet romantic comedy, but it's not about the romantic love between a man and a woman. It's about the paternal love of a father for his son. Jeff Goldblum and Juliette Lewis provide solid support.
