35 And Ticking (2011) 6/10

Starring : Tamala Jones, Nicole Ari Parker, Kevin Hart, Keith Robinson, Darius McCrary, Meagan Good
Director : Russ Parr
Running Time : 112 mins

Victoria (Jones) is married and her husband doesn’t want kids; Phil (Robinson) is already married but his wife doesn’t want kids; Zenobia (Parker) is still single and is too fussy to find a man; and Clevon (Hart) is too much of a geek to actually manage to land himself a woman. Together these four thirty-somethings struggle to contain their biological clocks as they start to realise that if they don’t have kids soon, it might be too late.

This movie sounds like an interesting concept, but the scenarios are too convoluted for my liking. All the men in this film are pretty much hateful - every one of them a player - and the men that are nice in the movie, well, nobody wants them. This is to me less an insight into how people cope with their biological clocks and more about how people are too picky and can never find the right person even if they are right in front of them.
