Featured review
Despite being a formulaic cliché, this does have an interesting satirical element. Of course all the tired tropes are there, unrequited love, wonder at technology development and child in a woman's body.
The intriguing part is the stark contrast in sensibilities over twenty years. Naturally it is caricatured for comedic effect, but perhaps we have thrown the baby out with the bathwater. Some horrible practices have been discontinued, but at the expense of sanitising our interactions.
Sadly this social commentary is insufficient to make this a good movie despite the delightful Rebel Wilson. It is mediocre at best, with a weak, stale story, clumsy dialogue and an insurmountable suspension-of-disbelief requirement.
