User Review
A funny movie with a very good message
Rating: 8/10
After watching the trailer for My Baby's Daddy, I thought it would be an
interesting movie to watch. After seeing the reviews I looked the other
way
and my expectations for this movie dropped. All I have to say is do not
let
the reviews turn you away from this movie. This movie has an amazing way
of
delivering comedy and morals at the same time. Sure it is unlikely that
three best friends will all get their girlfriends pregnant at the same
time,
but it was still well put together.
One of the drawbacks to this movie was its predictability. But what movie
these days isnt? It delivered laughs like the previews promised, and it
delivered hope. It shows us confidence, how to stand up for yourself. It
shows us to take a step up in life and take charge. It shows us that
change
is good. Even though you dont want to go through it, sometimes you have
to.
And most importantly it shows us to do the right thing...for yourself,
and
the people you love. Overall this movie is well worth watching. Granted
I
would not go out and see it again, but I sure am glad I got to watch it,
and
if I had the choice to go back and do it again, I would.
