Okay, Jennifer Aniston and Johnny Depp do not star in this film but it was posted on a friend’s FB page and I watched the trailer. And I think you should too. I want to watch the entire movie . . . but more importantly, as I continue on my review of movies from Hollywood with an infertility theme (latest was Julie and Julia) I really think that someone other than a physician with connections needs to do a movie on this. Or a television show. Something. not to get on my soapbox too many times but seriously, 12 million Americans have infertility. You don’t think some screenwriter out there could come up with a realistic screenplay for a movie on infertility????? Or hey, what about reality tv? We have 16 and pregnant, the duggars, a baby story, stories of adoptees reuniting with their birth families, survivor, an adoption story, why on god’s green earth don’t we have a tv show documenting what we go through to become parents???????
In the meantime, watch this. It’s worth it. Infertility Movie

I Completely AGREE!!!! They show every stupid aspect of people’s lives that have nothing to do with a “real”ality.
I want to see myself in a movie, (Charlotte’s story on SATC was great until the adoption/pregnancy. * not that I begrudged it, hey it’s Hollywood but I couldn’t beleive they would go so cliche on us, after what they had done to show us in a light that was real*) I want to know that I’m represented and then maybe people who feel it’s their god given right to make decisions for me about my body and my family building, will see the real pain that comes with infertility.
