Variety

The trials and travails of impending parenthood are captured through Friedlander's highly comedic filter, giving birth to enough dazzling wit to sustain the gimmick.

I guess the film's theme is that splitting a restaurant check is not enough these days.

Babysplitters is the kind of movie that could have gone horribly wrong, a comedy about parenthood with a rather strange setup. Yet writer/director Sam Friedlander makes this work with help from a solid cast.

Rated: B-

The movie -- which has an appealing and talented cast --- starts out very strong, if a bit far-fetched, and then becomes an outlandish soap-opera train wreck ... before trying to salvage the story with a very formulaic and cop-out ending.

Baby-sharing comedy is perfect for parents, not kids; sex.

I really, really enjoyed it. It's absurdly hilarious with relatable characters and a very entertaining plotline throughout. The cast was brilliant as well (with Danny Pudi delivering the most outstanding performance imo, he absolutely killed it) and I can definitely see myself watching it again.

Very cute film! Endearing characters and over the top surprise scenes. I hope they make this into a series.

Perhaps this simply annoyed a gay, spinster uncle, but watching four straight people over complicate having one child was far more frustrating than humorous. Pudi's boyish 20something "Community" charm has been replaced by all the joy of the bitter, noncommittal 30something millennial who has undershot the earning potential promised to him by growing up in a pre-housing crisis job market. Bitter, spinster, back-in-school millennial, signing out.
