Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

AFG!!.. this film sets the bar high. There's several very good reasons why this romantic comedy is as totally enjoyable as it is... Sarah Snook.. bit.ly/134TuuA ..a rising star... and Ryan Kwanten. They are both such great actors, there are little subtle inflections and mannerisms that just cannot be taught or directed, but are the essence of a well acted performance... and in addition, they are just so well paired in this film (it's hoped they soon get together again). Working with an enormously entertaining script, you WILL laugh!! And their love-making scenes are just so totally natural and sincere. Numerous rom-com's don't come anywhere near close to being worthwhile viewing as this one. Not usually mentioned, kudos to the outstanding camera and editing crews, their exceptional work in this instance is impossible to ignore, and when its this good it makes the entire film feel totally alive. And WTF!.. its got one really choice ending.. (final ten minutes, her eyes say it all). So do yourself a huge favor, and give it a try, even though you might not be totally into the RC genre. This is a movie for adults of all ages... and btw, listening carefully, it has one of the best accompanying soundtracks in films. PS...don't wait too long before watching it again, then you'll fully come to appreciate what a truly marvelous production it is.

This movie is also not suitable for Children. There's nudity in it and sexual situations (read baby making activities). It also has two leads who might remind you of other actors a bit. In the case of the male lead it might only be me, but he does look a bit like Chris Pratt, who's now gained a lot of Starlord ... I'm sorry I meant stardom, with his role in Guardians of the Galaxy. In the case of the female role, she does look a bit like a (better?) version of Lindsay Lohan.Not meaning any of those comparisons in a bad way of course. And they should not distract too much from the movie/the story this is trying to tell. And while this is very straightforward and easy to follow, it is a very decent, if predictable effort. It's funny at times and it has heart. What more can you wish for?

'Not Suitable for Children' is about an amiable slacker who discovers he has testicular cancer (it's a comedy, in case that's not obvious) and will be infertile in a matter of weeks. He sets about trying to convince his many former sexual partners to have a baby with him. None of them agree - presumably they don't want a baby by someone who possesses such a questionable taste in hats - but meanwhile, his best friend decides, after holding a baby - just once - that she would like to be a mother. I don't think either of them would be very good parents! Ryan Kwanten is appealing as the slacker; Sarah Snook, playing his best friend, looks very much like Australia's then-Prime Minister, Julia Gillard. It certainly won't tax the viewer's little grey cells (so that'll be the audience and the scriptwriter, then), but it's an amusing and entertaining film.

20-something Jonah (played by Ryan Kwanten) is a self-described "f$%*stick". Stevie (played by Sarah Snook who is being described by several critics as Australia's answer to Emma Stone) is the cynical best friend while Gus (Ryan Corr) is the clueless other best friend.Jonah discovers a lump in his nether regions during sex and after a visit to the doctor, is told that he has testicular cancer. Treatment for which will leave him infertile. This turns his whole carefree, in the moment, partying world upside down and leaves him considering whether he really wants a baby or not. The catch is he only has a matter of weeks before the operation.Feeling like his future has been snatched from him, he goes through his list of ex's and humorously tries to convince them to be the mother of his unborn child. Stevie and Gus are both supportive but concerned about the lengths that Jonah is going to in his insane quest over this newfound dream of being a father. Covering some truths of conceiving and cancer, this film doesn't stray too far from the beaten track. There are moments of great and awkward comedy, especially played out by Gus who seems to forever linger a bit too much while not having a clue what's happening around him.The success lies in the chemistry between the friends, mainly Jonah and Stevie. Stevie thrives in this with the moments between her and Jonah feeling natural and real, rather than a forced progression in the story.The dialogue is unassuming but still effective and Sarah Snook and Ryan Kwanten show the complexities of each seemingly simple moment.Fun fact: Sarah Snook was one of a handful of finalists to play Lisbeth Salander in the 2011 Girl with a Dragon Tattoo.Despite how basic this movie may sound, it's definitely worth the watch as you travel with the main characters discovering themselves.
