This film is a play written for the screen. It has a very smart plot, if I may use that expression for a play. As it is for all such type of movies, play for the screen, the key is character development within a good story, and this film has it.
The actors deliver excellent performances, all of them, and once you start watching it, you become interested in the play because of the solid performances. Of course, the story had to be smart to keep you in your seat all the way through the movie, and it did. We get to know each of the character's story, discover the humanity in the bonds that friends have.
The appropriately named movie deals with a couple's choices of name for their yet unborn child, and how a group of friends and family get involved in that choice, over an evening at the couple's home. The history of their relationships is really what all the discussions lead to, not to mention each spewing their heart out over revelations that occur during the discussions. The ending scenes make the whole movie worth watching; it is not a disappointment, which it could have been if not for the smart screenplay.
score 8/10
