Child psychologist Samuel Faulkner's ideal romance with ballet teacher Rebecca Taylor 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, Marty (Arnold) & Gail (Cusack) their unruly daughters and the confusing advice he gets from his perpetually single artist friend Too uninvolved 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 responsibility before it's too late. Robin Williams, as Rebecca's Russian Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, adds much of the comic relief in the film.
links to my play
This links to my play as it shows the stages of pregnancy which is similar to the structure of my play that follows the main character Jade from before she is pregnant to all the way through to when she gives birth.
It also shows the mother’s point of view and worries for the future when she becomes a mother. This is similar to Jade who is young and has more worries than most mothers do.
This film helped me develop my character Jade and show the stages of pregnancy.
