Responsibility has long evaded Lonnie (Eddie Griffin), G (Anthony Anderson) and Dominic (Michael Imperioli), three party animals who live a wasted existence with Lonnie's obscene uncle, Virgil (John Amos). This carefree lifestyle is shattered when each of the hedonistic slackers impregnates his girlfriend at the same time. Slowly but surely, the three are dragged into the drudgery of fatherhood and maturity -- but not without putting up a fierce fight.

Full of poop jokes, broad racial stereotyping, and other tired gags, My Baby's Daddy makes the absolute least of a decent premise.

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. Go to Full Review Christy Lemire Associated Press 01/08/2007
There are some jokes here, and any of these situations could have been funny as skits. Taken together, they're incoherent. Go to Full Review Liam Lacey Globe and Mail 01/15/2004

The antic, energetic performances are game, but they're overwhelmed by erratic pacing and disorganized writing. Go to Full Review Craig D. Lindsey Crooked Marquee 02/23/2023
Griffin and the three other credited screenwriters come up with jokes and characters that are tired, lame and downright embarrassing. Go to Full Review Tom Cassidy Common Sense Media 07/28/2022

alan g @agenser 04/04/2024 If you wonder why promiscuity is rampant look no further than this train wreck of a movie. Rampant promiscuity. Not a funny moment. Sick premise. See more 08/01/2021 Racial stereotypes indeed and dated but it does have a couple good punchlines. It at least has a good moral of the story. See more 04/26/2019 While the concept for the film spelled some promise, it feels more like a loose collection of comedic skits than a working piece. The comedy itself was riddled with childish, racist, and disgusting humor that wouldn't make even a child laugh. Overall, this film belongs in the trash heap of cinematography. See more 03/15/2018 Though there are a few funny points, but it's mostly full of bad jokes and bad acting. See more 05/03/2016 The same tired tropes and gags. See more 02/16/2015 Way too stupid to be funny See more Read all reviews
