Oddly, there are a few decent names in this ‘hilarious’ rom com about a therapist who gets fired, and then arrives home to find that his mum has moved in with her dogs and his wife won’t stop bugging him for a baby. Ah yes, the trials of a sensible man surrounded by ker-azy nagging females – there really should be a subgenre called ‘misogyny comedy’. Anyhoo, Diane Keaton, Liv Tyler and Dax Shepard all agreed to be in it, so perhaps there are some redeeming features. Just don’t hold your breath.
