charliehavensstylist-683-340005 So I remember seeing the trailer a few years back when it first came out and it sounded like a smart and funny premise. Never did see it as we live in the streaming era when there are a billion other movies I watched instead. But about a month ago I found it on the Apple Store .99 cent rentals and thought I'd give it a chance...Within the first third I saw how unlikable the main character was that I couldn't even laugh at the what could have been funny plot. He's some pseudo intellectual, stereotypical pompous douche parading around as a relatable mess. His jokes were never funny. On top of that he seems like the actual character irl. Those types of people you'd want to punch after meeting them only once and then actually doing it the second.
erin tanaka This film is not perfect, but it lacks in perfection it makes up for with its tremendous heart and a great sense of irreverent humor. The themes of the story are ones we can all relate to, including relationships, love, and family. The viewer has to be willing to suspend disbelief in order to become fully immersed, but if they will not be disappointed! 7/10 definitely recommendokay I was done writing my review but IMDb said I needed more lines, so here are my lines. I'm writing more lines for filler I'm not great at improvising this feels silly is anybody out there my sister was married to a llama
dionjuneijeh Well, I Think the Movie will be great based on the trailer I have seen. The Movie show what it could look like when a biological male gets pregnant. I am happy that the movie was made, because male pregnancy movies are rare the find. Specially, where the plot centered on a gay couple. I think Jacob York did a good job at portraying a gay pregnant man. This movie is a must see for fans of independent movies and Matt Riddlehoover's work. This romantic comedy is an original in this field. The baby bump looks real and well made. I like how they made the movie the atmosphere looks the relaxed and inviting. All in all, the movie is a well made depiction of a reality we all wish was true.
marc This was a disappointment. Yes I know Arnold Schwartzneggar had already made a movie about a pregnant man. But this seemed like an opportunity to do an amusing updated version,especially one that might deal with changing gender roles.In this iteration, a gay male couple finds themselves expecting a baby.Apparently, there was a mutation in the human species and men can now give birth. That amazing bit of news is told to us in a throw away bit, by a newscaster on TV and the main reaction of one of the protagonists is incredibly- annoyance that he is not the first anymore and no longer "special".The movie is poorly acted and not funny. Instead of emphasizing the humorous situation of a man confronting the problems that women have faced for millennia, the movie instead is obsessed with the gross details of exactly how the man got pregnant ( anal sex naturally!) and how he gives birth( a good bowel movement , of course). There are other unnecessary gross scenes- the pregnant man has morning sickness and vomits a lot. OK. we see that several times. Got it. Did we need a scene of him vomiting in the face of his partner as they make love? Aside from being visually disgusting and not remotely funny, it is illogical. One when is extremely nauseated, I doubt one feels like making love.There are some nice performances by the actor playing the doula and the young ex boyfriend But that's about it.The lead actors are occasionally wooden and mannered. The actresses who play the sister and the doctor are especially amateurish. Sorry. I know it's a low budget movie , shot on location and it's nice to support creative filmmakers trying for something original.. But this one doesn't work as a comedy or a relationship story.
