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.

Top CriticThere are some jokes here, and any of these situations could have been funny as skits. Taken together, they're incoherent.
01/08/07
Top CriticThe antic, energetic performances are game, but they're overwhelmed by erratic pacing and disorganized writing.
01/15/04
Top CriticBirths a big litter of bad jokes for every chuckle it manages to squeeze out.
01/14/04
Top CriticA tired send-up of hip-hop-isms that also aspires to be a Waiting to Exhale for men.
01/13/04
Top CriticThat it took Griffin and three (credited) collaborators to come up with a script this by-numbers only proves once again that too many cooks homogenize the soup.
01/12/04
Top CriticIt feels both forced and mean-spirited, to say nothing of out-of-step with the hip-hop generation.
01/12/04
Top CriticIt starts with implausible characters and descends into potty jokes (not just involving babies), racial stereotypes and a criminal lack of originality.
01/12/04
Top CriticIt shouldn't have been screened at all.
01/12/04
Top CriticCheryl Dunye's comedy follows three bachelor buddies on a journey toward maturity initiated by the simultaneous pregnancy of their girlfriends.
01/12/04
Top CriticHow these guys are broken by their babies is hit-and-miss comedy, but the film's element of truth ... keeps it from sailing off the screen like the gas from its oh-so-many flatulence jokes.
01/12/04
Top CriticIt's not the worst premise for humor dashed with a little wisdom, but the script, written by the film's star Eddie Griffin and others, is less than inspired and tends to blur the line between immaturity and just plain stupidity.
01/12/04
Top CriticThere's little that's fresh or new in the material.
01/12/04
Top CriticThe finished product looks like it was thrown together during a lunch break -- by a drunk person.
01/12/04
Top CriticThere are lots of cheap, easy gags and some uncomfortably incorrect humor, but the film has a good heart.
01/10/04
Top CriticDiapers, even from three babies, can't stink worse than this.
