Babyfever

Filmmaker Henry Jaglom rolls out another talkfest (similar to Eating) in this very loosely scripted film about a fortyish woman (Virginia Foyt) whose biological clock is set to the alarm position. While waiting to hear whether she herself is pregnant, she attends a baby shower of a friend which, it just so happens, is being filmed, thereby completing the self-referential circle. There are some fine moments (there usually are in semi-improvised films), but this is strictly an optional purchase. (R. Pitman)
