Indeed, the funniest parts (for the older audience, at least) occur in the beginning of the movie, before Dil is ever born. For example, at the baby shower, Tommy's aunt airily tells the expectant mother, "You know what they say: born under Venus, look for a--" before being neatly cut off by her cell phone. And Drew, when his daughter demands to know why she is being left at her cousin Tommy's house for the day, sweetly explains that "Daddy has to work overtime so Mommy won't be ashamed of his corporate earnings...
Well, it's stuff for modern kids: the ones who are primal enough to giggle at a peepee rainbow (created by infants in a nursery) and the "pooped in his pantsie" jokes, yet canny enough to finish the film's sentence "Born under Venus, look for a..."

While preparing for the French Open in May, Hingis noted that Graf--who had just announced her return after an injury--was past her prime. ("Everyone's entitled to their own opinion," says Graf.) At Wimbledon, Venus Williams threw a volcanic tantrum over a line call in her battle against Novotna. (Novotna on the histrionics: "I don't even look at her.")
