This has so much potential, but much in the same way as Sean Penn's "Into the Wild", it lays on so much sentimentality that it becomes risible (slow-mo turning heads to show pain, cheesy music when you're meant to feel sad, TERRIBLE OTT montage to show the progression of the relationship between the child and new parents). In the hands of a more experienced director, who would have allowed the powerful story to speak for itself, instead of piling on the amateur gimmicks, this would've been amazing. Instead, I'd say it's a bona-fide box of tissues, ice-cream schmaltz-fest to be tolerated by only the most "sex-in-the-city" of audiences.
