      Andrew Pulver Guardian In the end, Pugh’s film undoubtedly wants to warm hearts, and this it manages to full effect. Rated: 3/5 Aug 22, 2023 Full Review Amber Wilkinson Eye for Film Janis Pugh’s ability to blend crowdpleasing comedy and emotional poignancy should not be underestimated. Rated: 4/5 Apr 2, 2024 Full Review M.N. Miller InSession Film Chuck Chuck Baby is not necessarily about finding love or purpose, but looking at your lot in life not too far in the future, or even wallowing about situations from past years but finding something in the present moment that makes life worth living. Rated: B- Sep 22, 2023 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews Chuck Chuck Baby’s overall impact is heightened by its vivid working-class atmosphere and periodic transformation into a full-fledged jukebox musical. Rated: 2.5/4 Sep 21, 2023 Full Review Sarah Gopaul Digital Journal This film is energized by a lively soundtrack, to which the characters sing-along and choreograph their movements — not quite a musical, but teetering on the edge Sep 20, 2023 Full Review Tina Kakadelis Film Obsessive Maybe that comes across as too saccharine to the overly cynical, but Chuck Chuck Baby has no time for those who don’t have a funny bone in their bodies. Life’s too short to not fall in love amid a snowfall of chicken feathers. Sep 17, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
