Summary
RATING: R for language and some sexual content
Starring Heather Graham, Mia Kirshner, Tom Ellis, Will Mellor, and Orlando Seale
Georgina Scott is a broody 33 year-old who sends her partner packing when it becomes obvious that he doesn’t share her desire for a bundle of joy. Zak was going away on a documentary shoot anyway and he hopes that she’ll cool off in his absence. But Georgina discovers that early menopause runs in her family and heads for a specialist with her reluctant best friend Clem in tow. Learning that her baby making days are numbered and her next cycle will be her last, Georgina enlists the help of Clem and their camp pal, Justin, to make the most of it. A battle plan is drawn up but their escapades become increasingly frantic and elaborate as Georgina explores internet sperm donors, night clubbers, builders and funeral-goers in her desperate and hilarious attempts to beat the biological clock. (First Look Studios)

The Hollywood Reporter Sheri Linden
A light touch keeps the film from being an ordeal, but the story's trajectory is as predictable as the setup is contrived.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman
Graham is charming, but Miss Conception is a cloddish biological-clock bedroom farce.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times Carina Chocano
Isn't so much a movie as an extended sitcom -- it looks like one, it acts like one, it reduces everything to the lowest common denominator like one.
Read Full Review >Variety Peter Debruge
Miscast and miscalculated, Miss Conception hopes to collect on Hollywood's recent baby-on-board craze, delivering instead the least credible take on human pregnancy since Arnold Schwarzenegger gave birth in "Junior."
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Tim Grierson
Miss Conception's dim view of women soon transcends unexamined and goes straight to offensive.
