Payne cannot shape or propel his own good material. He lets things dawdle when briskness would be a boon, and defeats the gung-ho efforts of Dern and other worthy actors. [9 December 1996, p.82]

Brilliant laugh out loud satire on both sides of abortion 'debate' in 1990s USA. You don't need to be interested in abortion politics to get a kick out of this movie. Recommended for fans of intelligent humor.

I'm not quite sure what Payne was trying to express or what he was aiming for with this film, because for most of its duration it feels without a real direction. Laura Dern's work is good but there are moments that make her exasperating. It is a comedy without a doubt but struggles to be funny.
