The premise is intriguing—two women discovering their eggs were swapped—but the execution leaves something to be desired. While the performances are earnest, the film sometimes feels like it's trying too hard to balance comedy and drama. There are moments of genuine connection, but they often get overshadowed by the film's uneven pacing. It’s not a bad watch, but it doesn’t quite hit the mark either. If you’re in the mood for something light with some heartfelt moments, Maybe Baby might be worth your time, but don’t expect a profound exploration of its themes. Show less
