I figured out this entire film in the first 10-20 minutes. Had an idea based on the first 10 minutes, figured it all out by 20 minutes but I kept watching. It isn't every day one gets to watch a wholesome film that's not attempting to inject some message about how one should live their lives, and you should do it from the film's perspective. That's a problem with a lot of "family" films. This film doesn't do that, in my opinion, and for a film lover as myself, that's always a good thing.
I also know the aspect of trying to attempt to tell the person you're in a serious relationship with that you can't have kids, physically. Being a man I found it became more difficult the older I got. When younger it just was a line I used with girls "Can't get you pregnant" but getting older that line fizzled away because girls I was serious with wanted to have children with me. Adoption is an option but a difficult or easy one based on where you live and what your position in society is; just the way it is. In the society I live in I'm more on the spectrum of difficult; and those who get into relationships with me know this from my and their point-of-view. So, I've been a bachelor my entire life. I have relationships on occasion but never gone further because when they find out I can't have kids of my own, they're gone. I'm never enough. So, I understand the point-of-view of the character Jesse.
This isn't a great film. It's an average film but an average film with the right kind of heart; and that's always good.
