Infinity Baby

This is not necessarily a laugh-out-loud comedy (save for a few moments), but it made for a really entertaining watch. The intriguing premise sets up a quirky, unique world with fascinating and memorable characters. Most viewers were probably drawn to this film because of Nick Offerman, and he did a fabulous job, but the other actors embody their characters so well that Offerman's isn't even the best performance. The writing of this film is great, always pushing the story to exciting and unexpected places. Dialogue was hilarious. I particularly loved the storyline with Kieran Culkin's character Ben, which got better and better as more information was revealed about Ben. I can't think of anything bad to say about this movie. If you're into simple, low-budget indie films, give this one a shot!

The film is a bit uneven with humour and pacing but it was definitely funny and quite interesting. Acting was very good and I enjoyed the dark comic satire and the implicit examination of apathy in America. Rewarding for lovers of indie film.

"Infinity Baby" is a very strange movie and I can undestand why it's a relatively unknown little film. And, the strangest thing about it is that there really isn't much plot...mostly a lot of weird, quirky folks acting strangely. Again and again, there are funny situations which in many cases end with no real laugh or punchline. It's all quite odd...and a film that almost defies description. When it comes to plot, well, you'd think there's going to be one but instead there are just odd situations that ultimately have to do with commitment or a fear of commitment. I didn't really enjoy the picture and wish the plots had been hashed out more and more done with the whole 'Infinity Baby' notion. Strange and DEFINITELY not for all tastes.

Perhaps I saw a re-edited film. I saw this on April 4 at the WI film festival. The film was funny (and coherent). It was running short at only 70 mins and Bob Byington said he was planning on re-editing it for another showing in San Francisco. I really enjoyed the film. Lots of strong performances by well known actresses / actors. I recommend this film.

The ending is worth the wait. But, you must endure a bleak depiction of the 21st century dating scene, and a story line that questions the motives of those who have kids for the wrong reasons. A good question, just a little awkwardly put forth. While the movie is a 7, the ending is a 9.
