Daniel M. Kimmel Variety This mix of sitcomsitcom antics and romantic melodrama involving a couple who meet through a sperm donation is a complete misfire... Apr 29, 2005 Full Review Betsy Sherman The Improper Bostonian This twist on the romantic comedy genre by Vem Oakley suffers from an agonizingly slow pace and an unnecessarily annoying heroine. Rated: 1.5/4 Jul 15, 2024 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 14, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A pleasant rom-com that was ahead of it's time. Very enjoyable no matter the audience and highly recommended! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member A better, classier version of the Jennifer Lopez's movie "The Back Up Plan" from a few years ago. The performances are very strong and the writing is clever Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member An interesting twist on a romcom! Reminded me of the storylines used in "The Switch" or "The Back Up Plan" but this was the original. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a gem of a film, with great performances by Stanley Tucci and Lisa Eichhorn. But the most awesome aspect of the film, is how prescient it was: recently a woman in Australia, Aminah Hart, got pregnant thanks to IVF. Obsessed about finding out more about the father, she tracks him down on the Internet. They met, fell in love and wed with their daughter as flower girl. This is practically the same story as the plot in A Modern Affair, life imitating art! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Smart film with fun concept, and romance too! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I watched this film because I will watch anything with Stanley Tucci. I wasn't expecting much, and was surprised to come across such a gem. Grace Rhodes' biological clock is ticking and time is running out. As a single woman in New York City, she's having a hard time finding the perfect man and feels the need for something more fulfilling in her life to break her solitude. She, she finds the perfect solution, she decides to go for in vitro fertilization with an anoymous donor. Soon, she's pregnant, but that's not enough, she becomes obsessed with meeting the father in person. Stanley Tucci plays Peter Kessler, an artist who wants to hold onto his bachelor life when Grace Rhodes steps in. What follows is a beautiful, contemporary love story that could only be told our times of technology. A Modern Affair is a heart felt and unique version of the traditional boy meets girl love story. Highly recommended for a quiet evening in - or to convince a partner to have a child!! Stanley Tucci and Lisa Eichhorn are both wonderful, by the way!
