I honestly thought that the teacher altered the birth certificate, and that it was so he could trick Portia into helping Jeremiah get into Princeton. That would have been an interesting angle. But I don't like the idea of Jeremiah being involved in the scheme.

Agreed. When she held up the birth certificate to her 'son' it occurred to me that Paul Rudd might have made it all up for some insane reason. Then it just turned out to be a stupid mix-up and I went back to being bored/underwhelmed...

Totally! The fact that first John, butts into something that is really none of his business and then suckers Portia into believing she is the mother and neither one really solidly checks the background story is just so blah. And what detracts from things even more so, is that apparently we're all supposed to think it's just so funny.🐭
