Premature

The critic finds the film sweet-natured with enough charm to overcome some comedy misfires. First-time director Kevin Walls gives it screwball energy focused on the couple's unexpected pregnancy and preparations for parenthood.

Kermode finds the film warm and confident, despite moments when its characters seem detached from real-life pressures. She especially praises its polished look and sound, calling the low-budget production an astonishing achievement.
