Yeah, I'll third the opinion of the nurse... :s
And while it did have its moments, (mostly from Stephen Mangan who I thought did great with the role) I really have no intention of seeing it again. Not because it wasn't good; but because it isn't my preference.
Take 'Junior' for example. (Yes, I'm one of those people who actually liked it. ;) ) 'Junior', while it had its heartfelt and dramatic moments, was mostly played for comedy. 'Birthday' did have its comedic moments (dear god breaking his water...) but it was mainly played seriously straight almost to the point of being uncomfortable. Especially with the final argument they had which was enough to make me squirm...
Which while I do think that the feelings and emotions brought to the front during 'Birthday' would be the most realistic considering the scenario and circumstances, I've never been a huge fan of angst and this was pretty angsty from basically start to finish. So if you enjoy angst and realism, by all means give it a shot. But I think I'll stick with 'Kangaroo Man' as my mpreg film of choice.
