Plot: Most people fall in love and then have a baby, but one woman finds herself reversing the process in this romantic comedy. Grace Rhodes (Lisa Eichhorn) is a businesswoman inching into her 40s who has reached most of her career goals, but she is having a little trouble with her biological clock, which has started ticking very, very loudly. Grace hasn't had much luck in finding Mr. Right, and her friend Elaine (Caroline Aaron), who manages the not inconsiderable feat of being even more cynical about such matters than Grace, assures her that the man of her dreams doesn't really exist. Elaine is the first to suggest to Grace that if she wants a child and can't find a man, perhaps she should consider visiting a sperm bank. In time, Grace warms to the idea and eventually chooses sample #247. Grace becomes pregnant, and is very happy...until she starts wondering what sort of man her child's father really is. With Elaine's help, Grace cracks into the sperm bank's records and learns that #247 belongs to Peter Kessler (Stanley Tucci), a gifted but lonely photographer with serious commitment issues. Elaine meets Peter at the gallery he runs, and before long, a cautious romance begins to blossom between them, but Elaine isn't sure if this relationship is destined to last -- or when or if she should tell Peter that she's carrying his child. A Modern Affair was produced, directed, and written by Vern Oakley; it was his first feature film. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

A perfect way to spend an evening Added 2/2/2010 A Modern Affair is a perfect way to spend an evening. It's got great acting from really good actors. Stanley Tucci at his best. And it's entertaining, with a cool plot, while it makes you think about various life issues, such as love, modern fertility treatments and what it means to become a parent. If you like to think. And if you don't, it's still a really good evening! 0 out of 0 people found this helpful.
good dose of reality Added 8/15/2000 I liked this movie because it was slightly fanciful and romantic. But I like the movie even more because it had more reality than I expected. There was conflict between the two lovers, and it wasn't resolved by the end of the movie. Real life isn't nice and neat and this movie maintains a level of realism that made me happy. Lisa E. does carry the movie, the leading man was more abrasive that I thought, but it made him more real. Overall a good flick. 2 out of 4 people found this helpful.
