Ed Helms stars as a single man in his 40s who hires a young gestational surrogate, played by Patti Harrison, to fulfill his urge for fatherhood in Nikole Beckwith s comedy about mutable connections.
One of the standout debuts of 2020 was Jeremy Hersh s
The Surrogate, a superbly acted ethical drama that digs deep into complex interpersonal, psychological, moral and legal questions arising from a third-party reproduction arrangement that takes unforeseen turns. Close friendship added further complications to the childbirth pact in that case, whereas in Nikole Beckwith s
Together Together, the pregnancy agreement is purely transactional. The featherweight comedy is also far more generic, nudging around the shifting boundaries between Ed Helms father-to-be and Patti Harrison s paid surrogate without ever really raising the emotional stakes.
