Synopsis

Conception is a clever, romantic comedy that proves it takes more than sex to make a baby. From a couple fighting the odds of fertility to young teenagers losing their virginity, the film follows nine very different couples on the night they conceive, showing that sex can sometimes be more neurotic than erotic. The hilarious ensemble cast includes Emmy-winner Julie Bowen and Sarah Hyland (“Modern Family”), Connie Britton (“Friday Night Lights”), David Arquette (Never Been Kissed), Jason Mantzoukas (“The League”), and Alan Tudyk (Dodgeball).

sjsalter Some truly memorable lines. I would like to quote a few, but it might distract others. Excellent ensemble cast. Parts of the film hit so close to home that it could be uncomfortable in a good way. Rent it on Apple's website. Sounds cliché, but there is something for everyone. The age range of the characters and both sexes are (almost) equally represented is a plus. Some big names in the film. Check it out. The film is easy to relate to. Some interesting scenarios and circumstances. A good date movie. I learned a lot about the details of conception and childbirth that I didn't previously know. Both actresses form Modern Family were excellent.
seniorlimpio Jumping persistently between so many couples throughout the entire movie is a technique I've never really seen before, especially in how it so effectively sucks you in AND breaks most Hollywood conventions while still being relatable. Conception earns its R rating through edgy adult dialogue and sparse nudity without jumping onto the "shock value" bandwagon of tastelessness and pointless crudity.This is a sweet movie at heart, and Stolberg's ability to navigate through a wide variety of characters that you quickly grow to love and understand without the slightest bit of confusion makes it quite a rare gem.And, for any of us who know filmmaking- shooting it in ten days (at least that's what I read somewhere) with roughly ten locations (I think), one for each couple, is flat out remarkable- and it certainly doesn't hurt to have such an experienced, likable, recognizable cast filling out every single scene: it's not often (or ever) that every single face in a low-budget movie with so many characters can actually be recognized, let alone have been pulled from some of the most groundbreaking television (and some movies) of the last few years- though half of those cast are actually working on hot shows right now.This isn't a cliché-ridden, formulaic romantic comedy where characters are forced to figure out how much they really love each other, then lose each other, then get back together in the end- it's hanging out with real people who subtly (if not sneakily) grow on you, straight through to a culmination that ties everything together in a very charming way.
Andy-362 "Conception" is charming, cute, and sincere. The situations are realistic and relatable, and the characters are true ... and it hits every note perfectly. I won't summarize it here (it's pretty clear what the storyline is!), I'll give the filmmakers credit for finding new ways to surprise us, to keep the stories engaging, and to make the relationships, whether they're brand-new or established, realistic and sweet. And although you might think it's going to end in a very predictable way, it doesn't. The ending is more poignant than you might expect. It's certainly not a movie for kids, but certainly a good movie for a date (maybe not a first date!), or if you and the Mrs. (or Mr.) have a night without the kids. It's easy to understand why this was a festival success.
lisalisa0812 Saw this at Palm Beach!!! Outstanding! So well written and executed.One of my absolute favorites of the PB Film Festival. Cast is so diverse and all the couples stories flow so well. Several of my favorite actors are in this movie. I went to high school with the writer/director, Josh Stolberg and I am SOO proud of him. His amazing talent truly shines in this film. For anyone who has had a baby, is trying to make a baby, has kids, etc - you will totally get this movie. Just found out it is being released on Video on Demand Friday, February 24th!! I will be watching it again. I strongly urge anyone who likes sexy, romantic comedies to put this at the top of your Must See list!
