It was cute, but kinda boring and very stereotypical. I liked that the main character(s) were pretty relatable and human, though.

A funny film about a gay man and his friend who decide to have a baby. The supporting characters are also a hoot

Gayby was one heck of a comedy. Just the premise alone, a women wanting to have a kid with her gay best friend, is comical enough. Throw in a funny supporting cast and some hilarious scenes and you have an above average comedy. Some of the scenes were a little bland but there were plenty of laughs throughout and by the heart warming ending it made for a good movie. This one may not be on your Netflix radar but if you want a different, funny topic that a movie is based around, this one should satisfy your funny bone.

What lifts Gayby above its sitcom trappings is its emotional generosity and easy warmth, the sense that characters are defined by -- and made funny through -- their aspirations, not their way with a one-liner.

The good in Gayby easily outweighs the awkward staging and strained gags.

Harris, a talented comic actress who looks more like a real person than a Hollywood facsimile of one, makes every scene she's in shine.

Your enjoyment of this baby-obsessed queer farce will depend largely upon your tolerance for seeing yet another group of gay urbanites incessantly sniping about it all.
