“It’s a comedy winner. Absolutely hilarious. ‘Baby On Board’ is a smart, funny and raunchy surprise.”
- Pete Hammond, Hollywood.Com
Life for a successful power couple gets thrown for a loop when the wife finds out she's pregnant.

In the tradition of Knocked Up and The 40 Year Old Virgin arrives hilarious romantic comedy BABY ON BOARD; the story of Angela (Heather Graham) an ambitious, image-conscious businesswoman working for over-demanding boss Mary (Lara Flynn Boyle). When Angela becomes unexpectedly pregnant at the peak of her career, her life with her divorce attorney husband, Curtis (Jerry O'Connell), is turned upside-down. BABY ON BOARD begins with an inconvenient pregnancy that leads to a nine-month rollercoaster ride as Angela and Curtis try to cope even as the interference of best friends Danny (John Corbett) and Danny's wife Sylvia (Katie Finneran) escalate the situation into a battle of the sexes.

Starring: Heather Graham (Austin Powers, Swingers, Bowfinger)
Jerry O'Connell (Jerry Maguire, Joe's Apartment, Stand by Me)
John Corbett (Sex and the City, My Big Fat Greek Wedding)
Lara Flynn Boyle (Men In Black, Wayne's World, The Practice)
Katie Finneran (Broadway Tony Award Winner for “Noises Off”)

The picture is directed by Brian Herzlinger, whose 2004 feature documentary MY DATE WITH DREW garnered critical praise for its “astute and often hilarious” presentation of Herzlinger's attempt to get a date with childhood-crush Drew Barrymore.

About the movies:
20th Century Boy – Directed by Joe Kramer
A young man in modern America, Victor, over-read and over-imaginative, believes himself to be a World War I veteran, injured in France, returning to the country in the Roaring Twenties. He's discovered wandering the train tracks by a young and impulsive 20-something girl named Jane, who soon befriends him and adopts him into her life.

The Scrapper – Directed by Jonathan Olshefski
‘The Scrapper’ follows the nightly routine of one of Philadelphia’s scrappers. Scrapping is a way of life in many urban areas where a tremendous wealth disparity exists in close proximity. After the sun sets the Scrapper traverses the urban landscape in search of treasure.

The Mind – Directed by Isaac Williams
A force beyond physical form seeks to regain corporeality after being dismembered. Six people are taken over by a supernatural drive to collect fresh blood for purposes unknown to them. Lives are lost and ruined as this madness consumes and destroys.
