TTC After a Loss 6 Months+

The Switch

Have you seen the ads for this movie (Jennifer Anniston and Jason Bateman)?

The trailer implies that she has decided to get pg using a sperm donor.  She then has an 'insemination party' where her best friend (Jason) switches the donor sperm for his own.  It makes it look like the sperm sample is in a specimen cup in her bathroom. 

How ridiculous and so far from reality?  In what world would she have a jar of donor sperm at her house?  I hope the movie itself isn't so unrealistic, although I likely won't see it.

Re: The Switch

  • What's with all of these insemination movies lately?  If they are going to do them, at least make them realistic.

  • That's just ridiculous.  Did you see the Parenthood episode where the lady kept semen in her freezer?

    No, I don't think I've ever seen that show.

    Even my DH said 'how insulting' when he saw the Switch ad.

  • I think this movie is irresponsible.

    Since the trailer came out, I've seen a ton people on tv and in magazines bashing donor sperm, IUI, having babies "older" (read:in your late 30s or early 40s), and such. 

    I think, as usual, people pursuing fertility treatments are going to come across as looking irresponsible and wacky in this movie.

    This.  I might re-watch a little Arrested Development as a result of this film, but I definitely won't be seeing it.

  • I have not seen the trailer, but that does not sound like something that I am interested in seeing.
