Baby on Board (2009)

What makes it different from others?

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

While this is not the very best of movies and most people are panning this movie as been immature (there are some scenes that are very crass below the belt juvenile and offensive there is a very strong message in this movie that many people are missing Spoiler ahead You have a happily couple The wife wants to establish her career first before settling down to have a baby Hubby wants one A faulty condom and baby's on board Tie a philandering friend into the equation and advice from friends who only make things worse and you unfortunately land up with a disaster waiting to happen A indiscretion through no fault of the husband and seen by his wife lands up in a 9 month nightmare for both because she takes it for granted that what she saw was his doing and does not let him explain the true situation Result near divorce. A breakup of a marriage Heartbreak It is important. In a relationship to keep communication paths open and not just jump to conclusions

I really enjoyed this movie, started out looking like a story that's been played over and over again, and wondered off into humorous outlook of the true tragedy of how easily relationships fall apart, and generally how careers, friends and life have a funny way of becoming real obstacles for true happiness. It still borders on the typical chick flick, but it is a feel good movie with allot of drama and comedy, and great to watch with a partner.I would say watch this movie for a different perspective on married life, the importance of communication in a relationship, and for a good laugh at the comedy of errors that unfold.

My wife and I watched it, neither one of us laughed at all. Jerry O'Connell plays husband to Heather Graham and is your Hollywood version of a well intended, bumbling husband. Somehow, he is supposed to be a great divorce attorney when he doesn't have a mean bone in his body. Pretty faces for guys and girls in this movie, unnecessary f-bombs poor script writing that no one, no matter how talented, could save this disaster.************************POSSIBLE SPOILER**************************** He and Heather are going to have a baby, and mistakes, miscommunication ensue. The comedy that is supposed to ensue afterwords does not. Both take advice (poor) from best friends in the middle of their own crisis. Complete and total suspension of disbelief is needed to get through this clunker. An insult to real world relationships everywhere.

What I really didn't understand about this movie is how come Curtis - the divorce lawyer - is portrayed as a "positive" figure. Look at the people he has been representing: - a shameless cheater who denies the fact of his cheating and refuses to follow the pre-naptual agreement with his wife (and Curtis attacks his wife without a slightest disturbance of conscience); - a bitch who wants to rob her elderly husband and also sexually harasses Curtis; - finally, a complete scoundrel whose case no other lawyer agrees to take on moral grounds (cheats on wife with an "imported" Russian girl, to whom he is lying that he is going to marry her) And the fact that at the end Curtis acts against his client and discloses the client's private information to his wife does not help at all. Either refuse to take a case or, if already taken, deal with it ethically. Breaking the professional ethics code makes Curtis into an even bigger scum.I was waiting for a "change of heart" or something like that to happen to Curtis at the end, whereby he would commit to not protecting complete scoundrels and criminals any more, but nope, not a sign of it...Interesting message this is sending to the viewers in terms of morality and ethics...
