THE BABY MAKER is the sort of movie that today simply couldn't have been made because it discusses about women's wanting of getting pregnant and have kids, and today these sort of things aren't discussed anymore. There is one reason tho, why I decided to watch this: it's Scott Glenn's first movie he ever did and as usual, he was one of the best things of the movie.

Suzanne Wilcox (Collin Wilcox, it seems odd but they have the same surname) can't have children so her husband Sam hires a flower child named Tish Gray (Barbara Hershey) for having the baby. Most of the movie then focuses on the clashing views between Tish, her boyfriend Tad Jacks (Glenn) and the Wilcox couple, and also on the turmoil they go through.

To say that the movie is strange would be an understatement. The idea itself of a woman that has to give birth to a child and then give it away to another couple is not something you usually hear in movies, and Scott Glenn's character was 100% unlike his usual characters of men of few words... here he played a loud and fun loving boyfriend to Gray. Considering this was the first movie he ever did, he had to start some way or another.

Overall, if you are fans of 1970s counter culture it's worth a look.
