Yeah, but I think that points to part of what was frustrating about it--for a film that was about a pregnancy, it ended up being much more about the guy and how it all changed him. We saw Katherine Heigl go through the pregnancy and be miserable and all that, but there was a lot we didn't see: her decision about whether to keep the child or not, how the decision to go ahead changed her perspectives about her work, the thought process or the emotional move towards a guy who really didn't seem like a romantic match. Whereas we get him moving out and getting a job and becoming Dad-man. I mean, obviously it's a comedy (and not a romantic one), so they're not going to spend tons of time on those things, but it felt like no one was even interested in much of that from the woman's side, you know? Juno did all of that so much better.
