35 and Ticking

2011104 min5.3 / 10

A warm, character-driven comedy about four friends navigating love, marriage, and the pressure of biological clocks as they approach 35.

Victoria, Zenobia, Cleavon, and Phil are all friends approaching the age of 35 and struggling to build the families they've always dreamed of. While Zenobia is still looking for a man, Victoria is married to a man who doesn't want children. Cleavon, meanwhile, is too geeky to get a woman, and Phil is already married with children, but his wife is not very interested in being a mother. All four of them try to rectify their romantic lives and futures while their biological clocks tick away.
