Conception: Movie Review

The film, starring David Arquette and Gregory Smith, is one rom-com that realizes romance can lead to biological consequences.

Conception is a high-concept, low-budget comedy that drops in on nine couples the night they conceive a child, which in several cases was not the intended consequence. The film is understandably too sketchy to dig deeply into any of these relationships but the film does underscore what most rom-coms cheerfully ignore — that sex has a biological as well as a recreational function.
