Plot summary
For five years, ballet teacher Rebecca Taylor and child psychologist Samuel Faulkner have been a couple. Then she declares that she is pregnant, and when he asks about birth control she answers that it is only 97 percent effective. Samuel panics and does not want the baby, while Rebecca wants the two of them to settle down and would raise the child alone if she had to. His fears grow through encounters with Marty and Gail Dwyer, whose three daughters are young and unruly, and through advice from Sean, a single artist and Gail's brother, that leaves him confused. Rebecca, deciding that Samuel is unprepared for fatherhood, goes to live with Marty and Gail, who is expecting a fourth child.

- Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times gave the film two stars out of four, and both his review and that of Gene Siskel made reference to Grant's then-recent arrest.
