The Babymakers (2012) - BAD MOVIE
What this film needed in order to work was, one, a reality check. These
events are highly implausible, yet are taken in the manner of sincerity
and reality. Two, it needed a script more observant and intelligent. It
could still be a raunchy comedy and fulfill this proposition, so my
question is, why didn't it? And three, it needed to give both its leads
some much deserved screen time instead of subjecting them to
ridiculously contrived arguments about donating sperm to a sperm bank
multiple times, uncomfortable discussions with the neighbors about
possible donations, not to mention other sequences involving homosexual
humor and a montage of blows to the scrotal region. I came to laugh,
but I did far more wincing - one thing that is almost immediately fatal
to comedies.
