This movie is a follow-up to the series. It actually stands alone fairly well but you'll get more out of it if you watch the series it's based on first. Mikuri and Hiramasa, an eccentric married couple, are expecting their first child and the movie explores all the difficulties that accompany such an event.
First of all, I was disappointed that the relationship between Yuri and Kazama (Mikuri's aunt and Hiramasa's co-worker) was not explored further. They were an interesting pair but in the movie Kazama is barely there and Yuri's storyline is an odd divergence. But in the end, it's the Mikuri and Hiramasa show and that plotline (which ends up being somewhat episodic in nature) is very satisfying. They're a cute couple and the comedy and drama of adjusting to your first child is well-balanced and entertaining.
