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.

Critics Consensus

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

J. R. Jones Chicago Reader 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. Jan 8, 2007 Full Review Christy Lemire Associated Press There are some jokes here, and any of these situations could have been funny as skits. Taken together, they're incoherent. Jan 8, 2007 Full Review Kimberley Jones Austin Chronicle My Baby's Daddy takes an admirable premise -- three best friends and lifelong bachelors go from boys to men when they become fathers -- and undermines that message at every turn. Rated: 0.5/5 Jan 15, 2004 Full Review Craig D. Lindsey Crooked Marquee Griffin and the three other credited screenwriters come up with jokes and characters that are tired, lame and downright embarrassing. Feb 23, 2023 Full Review Tom Cassidy Common Sense Media Sweet and good natured, this charming and sometimes risky comedy is full of flawed but likable characters. Rated: 3/5 Jul 28, 2022 Full Review Caffeinated Clint Brag Magazine Three Men and a Bomb! Rated: 1/5 Feb 3, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

alan g 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/04/24 Full Review Audience Member Racial stereotypes indeed and dated but it does have a couple good punchlines. It at least has a good moral of the story. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Though there are a few funny points, but it's mostly full of bad jokes and bad acting. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member The same tired tropes and gags. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review william s A comedy to flush down a never ending toilet.
