    Five stars is being generous
    So it's a very poorly acted film with the word "okay" being used at the end of every sentence. The plot to have a baby by surrogacy takes them all over the world as if money is no problem, and eventually they end up with a child after a very long and confusing path. Interspersed with this is the bucking of traditions, cultural misunderstanding, and an eventual happy ending. I'm always wary when the person who stars in films like this, is also the writer and director. It's all just a bit too much and the result is a very badly produced, directed and acted story that seems to be cobbled together and a bit far-fetched.
