Smartorhypo Highly Overrated But Still Good

SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

kdesilv This is a simple movie. Well played and not overly dramatic. The only reason that it got a 9 was the "director" scenes with the drug happy, poorly played character. Considering the depth of the concept the film would have been better suited to a more caring character. It attempted to be a moment of comedy in a moving subject matter. Overall, this is a great movie if you are feeling emotional and want to watch a simple story unfold just as you hope, with twists and turns that make you wish for a happy ending. Without needing a spoiler alert; this film pushes the envelope on the Caucasian assumptions that we can get pregnant when ever we are ready vs. the more realistic ethnicities that understand that babies are made when our bodies are ready, not our careers.

hmcusn294 I'm not a fan of British comedies unless they have sub-titles, without which I cannot understand half the dialogue, and I guess they didn't think this DVD would be sold outside Great Britain; no subtitles, which left me scratching my head during the scenes with the character of the Scottish director.Now, having said that, I loved this movie. I'm not too familiar with most of the players in the film, but Joely Richardson has made enough American films that she is a familiar face, and I thought she was perfect in the role of Lucy, which makes me wonder if some of these reviews are of another film. She was incredibly beautiful and brought life to her character It is a story of a childless British couple, Sam and Lucy Bell, who desperately want a baby but are, so far, infertile. Sam is a screenwriter who has developed a writers block and needs inspiration for a movie plot, and he decides, against Lucy's wishes, to use their struggle to become pregnant as the plot for a script.Lucy is having her own problems as she undergoes humiliating treatments and examinations by her weird OB Gyn, Rowan Atkinson, of Mr. Bean fame, and finds herself drawn to an actor client who has set his sights on her, and we find ourselves wondering if she will succumb to his advances. The story is billed as a comedy but it wanders back and forth between comedy, pathos and drama, and in the end leaves you wanting to see it again.....and if you are like me, again.

sagoslim First thing to say: this movie is for adults. It won't get to kids under 18. The movie is about very delicate subjects, but manages to avoid any vulgarity and has absolutely nothing scatological. It's very smart, deep, but also very light and easy to watch at the same time.Heavily underrated, of course. The true rating is 7.2/10 - 7.5/10 Great performance of Richardson and Laurie. Great jokes. Watching this movie is like taking a hot bath. Makes you relax. Special effects: none Performance: 5/5 Directing: 5/5 Scenario: 4.5/5 In resume: warm and sweet movie Should I watch it?: why not

Simon Peters Maybe Baby is a bitter, misogynistic, mess. It has all the drawbacks of cheapness in production, and an inexperienced director, though it had the benefit of, count 'em, FIVE producers! Elton has surrounded himself with the usual suspects in terms of cast; Emma Thompson and Dawn French both running madly amok, Joanna Lumley clearly unassisted by any direction, and Hugh Laurie and Rowan Atkinson both merely going through the motions. Atkinson in particular is very unfunny in a schoolboy's version of a gynaecologist, complete with vulgar asides and much gleeful flaunting of gynaecological instruments that look like instruments of torture.The unexpected bit of casting is Joely Richardson. She is beautiful and her beauty is exploited in a rather unpleasant voyeuristic way - it is difficult to see a woman undergoing various humiliations while trying and failing to get pregnant while the director still thinks it titillating to give us several peeks at her body. Most of the characters in the film are intended to be funny, but all are caricatures, with the exception of Joely Richardson. She is treated unsympathetically throughout and ends up paying for her inability to conceive by being made to appear not only foolish but unfaithful, until persuaded back to her abandoned husband by a toe curling section of romantic melodrama. The character of the film director is the least structured of the lot, starting out as a foul mouthed and completely implausible, Scottish yob, until the story demands that he become lovable, a task he fails to achieve with any conviction.It is difficult to believe that a film can be this bad. Maybe Baby? Maybe not.
