Neither With You
Running time: 90 mins
Gergo is a film critic who loves women, but to his mother's dismay (she wants a grandchild) he finds none of them perfect enough. When he is told Mom will die in a couple days, he pays his pregnant and amazingly imperfect new neighbor to pretend the child is his, so Mom can die happy. But she doesn't die, and now he has to continue the charade. Building on a classical rom-com premise (water and oil don't mix), this blithe comedy with a big heart hits all the right marks and then some (such as the MOST unusual way Mom's delightful anxiety-prone doctor deals with it). A romp full of laughs and the distinct possibility of some happy tears. Karel Kohout
