My Baby's Daddy : Movie Review


My Baby's Mama (2003)As I took that long, dark drive home from the multiplex after watching My Baby’s Daddy, all I thought about was Raging Bull. Well, actually one scene, after boxer Jake LaMotta (Robert De Niro) has had the crap beaten out of him by Sugar Ray Robinson. As LaMotta, bruised and bleeding, exits the ring, he shouts to Robinson, “You didn’t get me down, Ray!”

No quote better captures the excruciating experience of watching, or rather surviving, My Baby’s Daddy. It’s stupid and pointless. It’s vulgar and crass without being remotely funny. It’s racist and creepy, with a streak of sentimentality that’s as genuine as a con man’s handshake. It’s full of more clichés than TV Land’s primetime lineup. Writing a review is almost pointless, because anything I write will sound like a warning screamed from the rooftop.
