This romantic comedy from the
John Hughes school of domestic farce stars
Greg Kinnear and
Lauren Holly as Danny Robertson, an elevator installer, and his wife Jennifer, the owner of an aroma therapy products store. They have a great marriage until Jennifer, who desperately wants a child, secretly stops taking her birth control pills. When she fails to become pregnant, she covertly delivers a sample of Danny's sperm to a fertility clinic, which discovers a biological problem. Danny is furious and embarrassed, but he reluctantly joins the effort to conceive. The crusade to have a baby becomes a humiliating spectacle for both Robertsons, and, as their marriage begins to fracture from the stress, Danny contemplates the charms of a sexy architect (
Jill Hennessy) while Jennifer eyes a charming business executive (
Christopher McDonald). A Smile Like Yours was the directorial debut of
Keith Samples, producer of
Big Night (1996) and Two Days in the Valley (1996). ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide
