[edit] Plot summary

Child psychiatrist Samuel Faulkner's (Hugh Grant) ideal romance with Rebecca Taylor (Julianne Moore) is turned upside-down when he 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.
