This is an excellent romance novel come to life... almost as though it's an adaptation. It could very well be. I've seen many films about babies and parenting, but this one is truly unique in its scope. You'll coo, or... Full review

But Jack likes her energy and strong will.
Sarah is determinedly calm, but soon-to-be-dad is so flummoxed he falls down the stairs and winds up in the hospital himself.

In fact, Sullivan, who also wrote the script, has the bad taste to milk a cheap laugh--Jack falling down a flight of stairs when his wife goes into labor--moments before he and we learn that she hasn't survived the birth.
