This was a good movie. I thought it was very intelligently written and was also a very enjoyable film. It was a little overpolished and refined, but that's just the type of film it is. I thought the acting was very good. However, I didn't particularly car for Katharine Houghton's performance. I thought she was really bubbly and her voice was too high pitched and sounded childish. She came off as ditsy and naive; not the kind of girl you would assume a super successful and intelligent doctor would be interested in. I think the film might have benefited from a more believable couple. It wasn't necessary to have her character be so effervescent just so they could say things in the film like "oh... she's always been such a happy girl, but I've never seen her more happy" and "she was laughing out loud at six months." For a film like this I think it's crucial for the audience to really be able to believe that the relationship on screen is genuine and strong. It didn't happen for me; I didn't see very much chemistry at all.
There isn't a whole lot to say about the film; It was mostly straightforward. It was very well made, flowed smoothly, and all of the events were clear and understandable. I liked a lot of what was said by the characters, and the story was interesting.
