The Babymakers Reviews
Some funny moments but not many, despite decent playing from Mann and Schneider.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 28, 2012
It actually gets more stupid the more you think about it.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 27, 2012
The only moments where The Babymakers provides any kind of comic lift come when talented improvisers like Faxon, Heffernan, Chandrasekhar and Aisha Tyler clearly go off-book and noodle their way into something that's actually amusing.

"The Babymakers" is amazing in its complete lack of comedy, nearly satirical in its rejection of levity and full-on embrace of mediocrity.
| Original Score: D | Aug 3, 2012
When a movie resorts to scenes of a grown man rolling around on a floor slick with spilled semen samples, something plainly has gone wrong.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 3, 2012
Every so often a movie comes along that's so lame, you can almost make out a "What the hell am I doing here?" thought bubble over an actor's head.
| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Aug 3, 2012
The big disappointment of "The Babymakers" is that it doesn't come close to being worthy of its two stars, Paul Schneider and Olivia Munn.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 2, 2012
Viewers may suspect the filmmakers have no clue about the actual operation of fertility clinics and sperm banks (the plot depends on some pretty dubious practices, particularly involving donor anonymity), but most will be laughing too hard to care.

You know Chandrasekhar is half-invested when even a montage of blows to the crotch (with each hit a potential cause of our hero's "lazy sperm") feels completely phoned in.

Yet another attempt to mix raunchy excess and romantic-comedy sweetness in an anything-goes raucous farce, The Babymakers offers a few big laughs between ho-hum stretches of frenetic vamping.

Ah, infertility comedies - always such a good time. You remember the way you yukked it up at "Maybe Baby" and "A Smile Like Yours," don't you? Oh, wait, you don't? Exactly.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 2, 2012
How does a comedy troupe even get from the frat-humor antics of "Beerfest" to the middle-class suburbanality of "Babymakers"?
| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 2, 2012
Delivered with sloppy, gleeful confidence, the movie is smarter than most gross-out comedies but isn't afraid to inspire an "Ewww."
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 2, 2012
Even those with the lowest enjoyment threshold for knuckle-dragging comedies will be hard-pressed to find joy in this impotent misfire from director Jay Chandrasekhar.
| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 2, 2012
It's raunchy/sweet in the American Pie/40-Year-Old Virgin tradition, and as dynamic as a glob of lazy sperm.
| Original Score: C- | Aug 2, 2012
Although I am aware sperm is a precious bodily fluid, I don't find it an especially funny one, and when a character spills half of the deposits in a sperm bank and then slips around on the floor like a clown on ice, I'm not laughing.
| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 2, 2012
Munn, sexy and spirited, plays Audrey as a woman without much patience for arrested-male shenanigans. You may end up feeling the same way.
| Original Score: C+ | Aug 1, 2012
...this is one of the most technically inept movies I've seen in quite some time...
| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 1, 2012
An increasingly incredulously plotted series of embarrassments about the wounded masculinity of a low sperm count.
| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 1, 2012
Munn has proved on 온라인카지노추천 that she has solid timing, but she does little here other than look pretty and, when the plot calls for it, outraged.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 31, 2012
