Synopsis: Eddie Griffin, Michael Imperioli, and Anthony Anderson are Lonnie, Dominic, and G, childhood friends who continue to live like children. But when they find that they're about to become fathers,... Eddie Griffin, Michael Imperioli, and Anthony Anderson are Lonnie, Dominic, and G, childhood friends who continue to live like children. But when they find that they're about to become fathers, they must face up to a whole new set of responsibilities. Lonnie is the most uptight of the three, who soon realizes that his girlfriend, Rolanda (Paula Jai Parker), is more interested in partying than being a mother. Aspiring record producer Dominic is having a baby with Nia (Joanna Bacalso), but he soon discovers that she has fallen in love with her midwife. And then there's G, a wannabe boxer who is unable to commit 100% to his girlfriend Xi-Xi (Bai Ling). As the pressures of parenthood put an unbearable strain on Lonnie, Dominic, and G, they gradually begin to see what's important in life, and do what it takes to become responsible adults. [More]

  • My Baby's Daddy
  • The ever outrageous Eddie Griffin (UNDERCOVER BROTHER) stars with Anthony Anderson (BARBERSHOP, SCARY MOVIE 3) and Grammy-winning rapper Method Man in this hilariously funny comedy from one of the executive producers of SCARY MOVIE! Lonnie (Griffin), G (Anderson), and Dominic (Michael Imperioli -- TV's THE SOPRANOS) are three bachelor buddies who have always thought of themselves as big-time players. But the party's over the minute their girlfriends all announce they're pregnant! Ready or not, these guys suddenly go from players ... to play time ... and deliver nonstop laughs like the ones you loved in BARBERSHOP and DADDY DAY CARE!

    Makes you laugh out loud, feel dumb for cracking up at the imbecilic jokes, then relieved when you notice everyone next to you is laughing even louder than you.

    There are some jokes here, and any of these situations could have been funny as skits. Taken together, they're incoherent.

    My Baby’s Daddy takes an admirable premise -- three best friends and lifelong bachelors go from boys to men when they become fathers -- and undermines that message at every turn.

    Okay, it’s a light comedy, I’ll go along with the premise. But what stretches all credibility is that Miramax didn’t send this dirty diaper of a daddy movie straight to its room at Blockbuster.

    What make My Baby's Daddy bad is that it isn't funny. Not even a little.

    Director Cheryl Dunye (The Watermelon Woman, Stranger Inside) has been fighting the good fight for years as an independent filmmaker, so I guess she's entitled to take the money and run.

    The only reward here is making your friends and loved ones fear you by telling them you went to a movie called My Baby’s Daddy.

    There are lots of cheap, easy gags and some uncomfortably incorrect humor, but the film has a good heart.

    There is no good reason to make a trip to see My Baby's Daddy, but at least it goes down painlessly enough and isn't a complete wash.

    This stuff wasn't funny when Ted Danson, Tom Selleck and Steve Guttenberg did it 15 years ago, and it isn't funny today with this hip-hop spin.

    Having Chinese Granny mumble "fo shizzle mah nozzle" (or whatever) is the surest indication of a screenwriter with more cocaine than talent.

    It’s offensive, unfunny, badly acted, badly written, badly directed, and remarkably, outstandingly, disturbingly stupid.

    Births a big litter of bad jokes for every chuckle it manages to squeeze out.

    The movie has no idea what to do with its premise, so instead it churns out scene after scene of tired slapstick.

    no more engaging or provoking than watching a blank screen, which I recommend over paying money to see this

    On the scale of moviegoing experiences, it’s on the Tortures of the Damned level.

    The antic, energetic performances are game, but they're overwhelmed by erratic pacing and disorganized writing.
