Movie Review: A Little Disappointing
Summary: 4 Stars
I've become a Hugh Laurie fan since I started watching House, and I was interested in his earlier work. My disappoinment comes from finding out the extent of the editing from the British version to the American version. Right now, I couldn't have played the Region 2 version because I have a standard DVR, but I do plan to upgrade soon, and I resent the fact that if I want to see the "complete" movie (with features, which were NOT included in the Region 1 version) I'll have to buy the other version. It's as though the House DVD's sold in Britain were missing an episode for each season. In other words, a truly stupid idea. As far as the actual content of the movie, it is cute, and some of it is downright funny (especially Dawn French and Rowan Atkinson). The "dramatic" parts are a little overwrought (the Hugh Laurie character supposedly "betrays" the Joely Richardson character by secretly making a movie about the couple's fertility struggles, but she is so obssessive in her child quest that you wind up feeling sorry for HIM). Who knows? Maybe the less edited (i.e., British) version makes more dramatic sense, but I won't know unless I buy it, will I?!?Movie Review: MAYBE BABY MOVIE

THIS IS BRILLANTLY ACCURATE PORTRAYAL OF A COUPLE, DEEPLY IN LOVE, WHO FACE THE CHALLENGES OF INFERTILITY. THERE IS A PERFECT BALANCE OF COMEDY AND DRAMA AND HUGH LAURIE BRINGS HIS SENSE OF HUMOR AND PATHOS TO THE SCRIPT WITH A VERY SENSITIVE PORTRAYAL OF A MIDDLE MANAGEMENT EMPLOYEE OF THE BRITISH BROADCASTING COMPANY, THE BBC. AS AN AMERICAN WHO HAS LIVED IN ENGLAND, THIS MOVIE IS SO WONDERFULLY TYPICAL OF THE BRITISH SENSE OF HUMOR, DRY, SUBTLE, BUT GLARINGLY PRESENT. ALL IN ALL, A MOST ENJOYABLE FILM.Movie Review: not finished

I found this movie very sweet and funny. Joely Richardson was adorable & I just adored Hugh Laurie. He looked REALLY good. I was disapointed because I found out that the American version kept out some parts that I think would have been important to the relationship between Sam & Lucy and also having read the book they were pretty funny. For me therefore it left me a bit lost at parts in the middle. but i do highly recommend it.Movie Review: funny for a fluffy British movie

I loved "Mr. Bean" in this as the OBGYN... but as a movie, I could only watch it once. The two leads were good together. There were some painful moments, as to what happens between them and their struggle to have a child. But in the style of good romance, it all works out in the end.Movie Review: Maybe Baby

Delightful story, laughed and cried equally. Some of the situations tore at my heart strings, while others scatterbrained and truely laughable. Hugh Laurie, as he does in the series "House" fit into the skin of his character.
