The Very Idea: Review

Poorly produced and conceived comedy that centers around the inability of a wealthy couple to produce an offspring. The wife's brother comes up with the seemingly brilliant idea of having others make the baby for them, the chosen being the couple's maid and chauffeur. When the baby finally arrives this pair doesn't want to part with the tot. But that's okay as the childless couple are expecting their own child anyway. Not a very tasteful subject for lighthearted comedy. leave a comment
