Maybe Baby is Elton's stab at romantic comedy, and it's a strong feature debut, spiffy, quick-witted and more than a little shocking in its unflinching acknowledgement of English people having sex.

A juggling act between high soap opera and low comedy, Maybe Baby manages to keep its pins in the air until very near the end.

Atkinson's painfully unfunny turn as an insensitive gynecologist is eclipsed by Hollander's scathingly funny portrayal of belligerent auteur Proclaimer, whose wears his pretenses with such scabby aplomb that they achieve high style.

There are some light chuckles to be had, but considering its promising parentage, this is surprisingly soft stuff.
40
This new romantic comedy from the U.K. lands on an emotional gold mine only to spin it into synthetic straw.
30
Proves infertile in more ways than one.

This would be a stultifyingly incestuous affair even if all the jokes about fertilization weren't so tiresomely lame and predictable.
