Motherhood's a bitch. Heller's comedic take on the subject is certainly original, but there are a lot of tonal shifts and the film feels a bit uneven. On the one hand, I feel Heller didn't quite push things far enough, on the other hand, a slightly more consistent approach would've made for a better film.

Adams is nice and the premise is certainly interesting, but the horror and mystery elements are underplayed, the drama is somewhat underdeveloped and the ending is a tad whiny. An extra portion of smirks and nudges would've left me with a better feeling about this film, but I wasn't bored or disappointed. It's certainly unique.
