A childless couple attempting to conceive discover that his sperm are "lazy". Several trips to a fertility clinic prove fruitless.

The deception alienates the husband for a time. To compound things, a female architect has the hots for the husband and lures him out of town on business at exactly the wrong time.

Critics' reviews

"It's the cinematic equivalent of having a saccharine-coated tongue depressor jammed down your throat."

Mark Caro: Chicago Tribune
"An uncommonly thoughtful and intelligent mainstream entertainment, painstaking and stylish in every aspect."

Kevin Thomas: Los Angeles Times
"Keith Sample's film aspires to the innocent charm of a newlywed comedy like Barefoot in the Park, but gets bogged down in witless sex jokes."

Dave Kehr: New York Daily News
"After a while, I could smell the jokes coming like Grandma's two-day-old stuffed cabbage."

Paul Tatara: CNN
"Flat and formulaic, this painfully charmless romantic comedy is destined to disappear quickly after its halfhearted theatrical release."

Joe Leydon: Variety
"You feel embarrassed for the actors and the crew that had to film them."

Desson Thomson: The Washington Post
