Baby Done is a quirky take on the trials of pregnancy that sometimes feels more like a rom-com than a genuine exploration of its themes.

Show more >> Baby Done is a quirky take on the trials of pregnancy that sometimes feels more like a rom-com than a genuine exploration of its themes. Zoe, played with a mix of charm and anxiety, finds herself at a crossroads when she discovers she’s pregnant. The film starts off strong, filled with witty banter and a light-hearted approach to serious topics. However, as it progresses, it occasionally loses its momentum, falling into predictable patterns. While Tim's character brings a comforting contrast to Zoe's chaos, the film sometimes struggles to balance its comedic elements with the deeper issues at play. It’s enjoyable, no doubt, and there are moments that will make you chuckle, but it also leaves you wanting a bit more depth and originality. Overall, Baby Done is a decent watch, but it may not leave a lasting impression. Show less
