Baby Done

The negative reviews say that "this movie wasn't funny"

I don't think this movie was trying to be hilarious. It was meant to bring light to the fact that unplanned pregnancy can be hard on couples and accepting that a person's entire life is going to suddenly change and how one deals with it or in this case not deals with it has consequences.

Its a movie with emotions and some dark and at time disturbing humour but it worked for the film.

Every man/male/boy should watch this film to perhaps get an understanding of how women may feel during their pregnancy and be more understanding and patient with their partners experiencing the same!

It started off well. It was funny and the chemistry between the two leads was fantastic. But Zoe became increasingly annoying and over the top.

It was saved by the last ten minutes.

Baby Done

I hate this kind of movie, I thought I was going to be dragged down a worm hole of Three Men And A Baby and remain there in nappy oblivion.

Reluctantly I enjoyed this, there was great chemistry between the two leads and they both acted their comedic socks off.

It was light and fluffy but hugely entertaining throughout, however the basic premise of reluctant mother doesn't really wash in 2021 as there are so many other options.

I'm giving this a firm 6, but there were more than a few silly moments that didn't work.

When I watched this at first I think I was doing so in the wrong way. I took the female lead's experiences literally and so it just seemed that she was going through a terrible episode of psychological distress/dissociation, risking her life and the baby's while nobody thought to support her. However, reflecting on it, it probably was intended to be a slightly over-the-top comedic metaphor for the genuine fears and angst about the changes happening in your life when you have a child. Despite taking it a bit too seriously, I could relate to a lot of those fears, had a couple of laugh out loud moments and overall found it very sweet!

The film wanted us to feel something but I just didn't believe Zoe's character. Shame.
