Annie Murphy Finds New Love, Career, and Baby!

Emma, a spirited professional dancer played by Annie Murphy, undergoes a significant life change in her 30s. Following a demanding commercial gig and a breakup with her boyfriend, she decides to pursue a new career in speech therapy, inspired by her mother's stress-induced stutter. As she navigates her studies, Emma also opts to have a baby independently.

Her path crosses again with Luke, a man she previously babysat as a child, who is now 23 and a graduate student. Despite an initial attraction and a brief fling, Emma initially tries to move on, focusing on her career and plans for motherhood. However, Luke re-enters her life just as she is seeking a sperm donor, leading to a complex romantic entanglement.

The film, set against the backdrop of Toronto, spans three years, with a notable trip to Niagara Falls providing a strong sequence. While the story embraces rom-com conventions, it sometimes strains for gravity, particularly in subplots involving Emma's mother and the manufactured friction between Emma and Luke in the final act. The movie ultimately highlights Murphy's comedic talent and an ensemble cast's performances.
