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.

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.

| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Jan 15, 2004

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

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 15, 2004

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

| Original Score: C- | Jan 14, 2004

A tired send-up of hip-hop-isms that also aspires to be a Waiting to Exhale for men.

| Jan 13, 2004

That 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.

Full Review | Jan 12, 2004

It feels both forced and mean-spirited, to say nothing of out-of-step with the hip-hop generation.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 12, 2004

It starts with implausible characters and descends into potty jokes (not just involving babies), racial stereotypes and a criminal lack of originality.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 12, 2004

Maybe the title should have been Three Men and a Turkey.

Cheryl Dunye's comedy follows three bachelor buddies on a journey toward maturity initiated by the simultaneous pregnancy of their girlfriends.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 12, 2004

How 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.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 12, 2004

It'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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 12, 2004

There's little that's fresh or new in the material.

The finished product looks like it was thrown together during a lunch break -- by a drunk person.

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

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jan 11, 2004

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

| Original Score: B- | Jan 10, 2004

There's no time to be insulted by the endless string of racial jokes considering how infuriatingly literal the film is.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 9, 2004

Diapers, even from three babies, can't stink worse than this.
