Stream it now My Baby's Daddy 2004

 

Honestly, it's just really not funny. Aside from a few chuckles the somewhat funny leads can't save this movie from being terrible.

This movie has universally horrible reviews. Granted, it's no great comedy and it is predictable, but I though some of it was amusing and thought the cast was rather decent. There are too many fart jokes though.

My Baby's Daddy

I was genuinely surprised at how entertaining this movie was.

just finished watching this movie. funny at first...but didnt see nothing original in it, kinda predictable. you can tell what's gonna happen. but the story is good though, not like someone is changing body with someone else, or someone is travelling through time. didnt find any mistakes in the movie...but i can never do after the first time....but i dont think i am going to watch it again. but i told my friend its a good movie to watch before you have kids....gives you tips and teach you tricks. and what type of name is NO GOOD...holy crapioly maan....think about something better....no good is a no good name...and bling bling...i say they are just making fun of chinese names... the lesbians and brandy was hot though...
if you have two hours to spend and really bored...and have nothing to do...go watch it...but if you hate hollywod comedy flicks like daddy day care, or how high, or other 40 thousand dollar movies , go watch it
later gaters

Hey All,
This movie caught me by surprise. My husband rented it and I wasn't sure if it was going to be worth while. It was! It was such a cute movie. I really enjoyed it. It is about these three men who each get a woman pregnant and how they take the responsibility. It also has a great message with it. The DVD does give some extra stuff with it. I would definitely recommend this to any one.

My Baby's Daddy is a lightweight look at fatherhood through the eyes of 3 inner-city pals who must re-examine their priorities when their girlfriends all get pregnant at the same time. Basically a ghetto version of Three Men And A Baby, My Baby's Daddy blatantly rips off the aforementioned film's best parenting bits that made much ado about doo-doo (yes, Anthony Anderson gets shot in the face by his little tyke's super soaker- not once, but twice!).

Eddie Griffin co-wrote the script and describes the film as a statement that there is a large number of inner city fathers who take responsibility for their children and aren't all support dodging dead beats. And, I suppose he succeeds on some level as each of our "heroes" undergoes a life changing epiphany and decides to be a good dad. But, a larger statement might have been made if Griffin had decided to show us that some of these same youth were responsible enough not to get their girlfriends knocked up in the first place.

Unfortunately, while Griffin is attempting to put a positive spin on unexpected fatherhood, he is also filling his script with a plethora of stereotypes, right down to Method Man as a recently paroled "thug for life" who swills 40's and takes to robbing baby stores. We also have a pot smoking Asian grocer nobody understands half the time who reveals past ties to a gang. And, when Anthony Anderson's Asian girlfriend responds to his marriage proposal with "You had me at herro" we have truly reached a low point in the film.

The performances in the film are nothing special -- all do just fine with material that doesn't require anyone to stretch. Griffin does the best work, transforming his character from a Steve Urkel-type super geek into a confident and capable father finally willing to stand up to the atrocious girlfriend who treats him like a doormat. Paula Jai Parker is his girlfriend, Rolonda, a truly horrible shrew and the sort of mother you would call Child Services on in a heartbeat. Anthony Anderson fires off a few clever zingers but his shtick seems to be wearing a little thin as I found him to be the most annoying of the 3 main characters. Michael Imperioli is nearly non-existent in terms of performance and the lack of development in his character seems to suggest the part could have been labeled "Token White Guy".

My Baby's Daddy is now available on DVD in a choice of 1.85:1 widescreen or 1.33:1 full screen and 2.0 Dolby Digital Stereo. Bonus features are sparse and consist of a making-of featurette with cast and crew interviews, a dozen or so deleted/extended scenes including a really horrible original ending, and a very brief gag reel that is shockingly bland considering the comedic talent in this film.

As lighthearted social commentary, My Baby's Daddy succeeds to some degree in providing an alternative to the notion that inner-city children frequently grow up fatherless but it does so in a blatantly unoriginal way and ultimately sabotages its breaking of stereotypes by assaulting the viewer with the very stereotypes the film is attempting to dispel.

PLot: A trio of young men (Griffin, Anderson, and Imperioli) are forced to grow up quick when their girlfriends all become pregnant around the same time.

Review: iiight I'm not gonna say too much about this movie. My Baby's Daddy waz cheesy but i thought it waz funny too. It wasn't dat bad i no it got blasted by the press and everyone but i didn't think it waz bad I've seen a lot worst. I thought it was entertaining. I'm not saying ur gonna love it but don't knock it until you see it.

I thought My Baby's Daddy would really s*ck, but it was okay. It was entertaining. I found it funny in parts, and I thought it had some charm, so I can't really give it a bad rating. But it's not really a movie you have to watch. If you miss it it's just alright.

Brief Summary:
Lonnie the geek (Eddie Griffin), G the thug (Anthony Anderson), and Dominic the womanizer (Michael Imperioli) all get three unwed women (Bai Ling, Joanna Bacalso, Paula Jai Parker) pregnant at the same time whom, coincidentally give birth on the same day - minutes apart. Unfamiliar of every aspect of the word "daddy", the three men discover themselves and make drastic changes which infinitely revolutionized their perspectives of what they want to accomplish in life and how to become a responsible father.

Another cheap comedy act done by Eddie Griffin, however I do respect him as a stand up comedian. There isn't anything remotely intriguing about this movie as it displays the ineptness of three men living under one roof whom eventually have an epiphany of one day being the "perfect" father. Most of the plot was predictable which became rather boring and prolonged. Nevertheless, the movie does show a fraction of family values and crude jokes which can be quite humorous.

:) My Baby's Daddy was fresh and cool. Anthony Anderson and Andy Griffin did and awsome job on this film. They brought their comedy from their other movies together and put them in one movie. I give this movie a 9. This teaches parents and children that there is nothing more important than the relationship with each other. Even though i saw this movie with my friends, I wish I could have seen it with my mom. This was an emotional, funny, and soon-to-be-classic film. Go and see this movie!!!

(P.S. please send me a buzz)
