The Plot: Power couple Angela (Heather Graham) and Curtis (Jerry O’Connell) have a seemingly flawless marriage, but a surprise pregnancy could end up turning their carefully ordered world upsideBaby on Board Movie 1 down in this sad attempt at humor. Between their annoying as all hell best friends (John Corbett and Katie Finneran) and Angela’s botox boss (Lara Flynn Boyle), the perfect pair could end up imploding before the bundle of joy’s even born.

The music was some kind of annoying shitty jazz/bass fusion that played after almost every scene. If it wasn’t that, it was the lame Baby on Board Movie 2piano music from hell at any given tender moment. Toss in some no name cock rock songs and you have yourselves a bad sound track.

The cinematography was your usual single placement camera angles that seem to work with this type of movie. I can’t say that it’s bad or great, but it was ok for the most part and I’m getting tired ripping on this flick.

The acting landed flat in this poor attempt at cinema. When the, Baby on Board Movie 3so-called, comedy is mixed with awkward arguments that someone thought was funny, it never turns out good. The lines seemed forced and I’ve seen better drama in movies played during my 8th grade health class.

The effects were kinda lame, even for a comedy. The saggy balls site gag looked like a dogs chew toy.

Baby on Board Movie 4Overall: First off, let me just start by saying that Jerry O’Connell is the poor mans Jason Bateman, and this movie was the poor mans “Knocked Up”.  It just didn’t have much going for it right from the start, and never picked up. I could see a chick thinking that this movie was “Cute”, but that about it.
