Reviews:

Stephen Cole, Globe & Mail: "An ingratiating comedy based on the premise that it takes a village to raise an adult."

Bruce Demara, Toronto Star: "A wonderfully sweet and poignant comedy that goes in all kinds of unexpected directions."

Dave McGinn, Globe & Mail: "Scott deftly balances David's ridiculous mission with moments of real tenderness, making for several heartfelt moments that help carry you past the fact that such a situation couldn't possibly have the ending it does."

David's loser-ish existence is upended when a lawyer informs him that he's fathered no less than 533 children via his one and only talent: donating sperm.
