Plot summary
Child psychiatrist Samuel Faulkner's (
Hugh Grant) ideal romance with Rebecca Taylor (
Julianne Moore) is turned upside-down when he unexpectedly learns he's going to be a father. His fears mount due to his encounters with an overbearing couple, their unruly children, and the confusing advice he gets from his perpetually single artist friend (
Jeff Goldblum). Too selfish with Rebecca's needs, Samuel parts company with her and takes a last stab at playing the field, but when he sees an ultrasound of his soon-to-be-born son, he decides that it's time to take responsibilities before it's too late.
