Misconceptions (2008)

Lightweight and improbable, this farce about a religiously conservative married Southern woman who chooses to be a surrogate mother for a gay male couple because God spoke to her could be a Lifetime movie (I guess--I don't think I've ever watched one) except for the taboos. Starring A.J. Cook (one of the sisters in Sofia Coppola's The Virgin Suicides (1999) and 107 episodes of Criminal Minds, which I haven't seen) as the surrogate and Sarah Carter (the take-no-prisoners lawyer on Shark (2006-08)) as her sister, both with accents so thick you could cut them with a knife, and David Moscow (young Josh in Big (1988), who grew up to look nothing like Tom Hanks) and Orlando Jones (7-Up pitchman, TV writer (including his own show), and lots of other credits, including my personal favorite: Little Melvin, the R&B musician, in Liberty Heights (1999)) as the prospective fathers. There were some laughs in it, but not enough, really.
