Baby On Board

I have given this film to every acquaintance that was expecting their first born. After watching it, it takes the edge of the new responsibilities. Outrageously funny!

Everyone involved had way too much fun making this movie. And that's not really a good thing. I did get a good laugh now and then - I really did. But the plot was really ridiculous and contrived. Without giving too much away, the entire movie is based on a couple's (actually two couples') misunderstandings and lack of communication which definitely does happen in every marriage. But when there are issues THAT major, you don't just continue with life, not speaking to each other. You have at least once massive conversation about what's really going on. And that just doesn't happen, allowing things to just drag on. This movie really could have been a lot better if they had spent more time on the storyline. It really felt like a direct to DVD movie.Okay I'm being kind of harsh. So three things: First of all, the acting is very good. It really is. The main four actors really interacted well with each other all around. The main guys were extremely believable buddies. The women were also great. The movie may be worth watching just for that - but only when there's nothing else and you feel like shutting off your brain for some cheap laughs. The other thing: Lara Flynn Boyle was fabulous as always. And her bad cosmetic surgery actually added to the role of a ball breaker boss aging ungracefully. And third, although the movie as a whole ranks as "okay" if I'm generous there are some scenes that will have you saying "that's totally us" if you're in a relationship. There are moments of pure genius rarely seen in romantic comedies.Just one girl's opinion.

GOOD

This movie seems like part of a trend among many recent romantic comedies to substitute vulgarity and silliness for true comedy. The plot twists were often unbelievable, even for a romantic comedy. At several points, people make out wildly in restaurants, jumping on top of each other and groping wildly (which I've frankly never seen in a public restaurant). After the first 5 minutes there was little change in the plot and the ending was an entirely predictable. Throughout the movie, I felt like the main characters were almost purposely miscommunicating simply because they had to propel the plot. Not worth your time - there are plenty of other romantic comedies about unexpected pregnancies.

IT IS A BAD COMEDY WITH 1 OR 2 LAUGHS AND VERY VULGAR. THE ONLY POINT IS BECAUSE THE QUALITY OF THE BLU-RAY VERSION IS REALLY GOOD.

The movie arrived in a very timely fashion. The quality of the movie was good until the middle of the movie. In certain parts of the movie it stopped and perhaps up to a minute later it began again.

Baby on Board is a bit strange to say the least.One moment the jokes are innocent, clean, and almost adorable. The next minute the style of humor switches completely into a much dirtier and downright *disgusting* direction.I assume this was done because the writers wanted to make this film a comedy for both men and women alike. The problem is, men and women will be spending much of their time either bored or disgusted (and probably confused).I don't know what else to say about it. I was laughing quite hard on a few occasions, but other times I couldn't believe the words the characters were saying to each other (and I don't mean cute and innocent little swear words either).The story involving a pregnant woman going through her hectic career without her boss knowing she's actually pregnant was the only time my interest went up for a short period.Don't expect Baby on Board to be a comedy that pertains to your sense of humor because frankly, a movie like this isn't able to connect to *anyones* sense of humor.

Don't listen to the bad reviews these wanna be critics, who will never be, are giving this movie. It is a laugh out loud comedy that is full of outrageous moments, and will make you laugh out loud. Has a decent script and is acted really well. If you listen to these other "retentive" reviews and pass on this movie, you'll be missing a great comedy..
