Blazing Minds (92 KP) rated Baby Done (2020) in Movies
Oct 29, 2021 (Updated Nov 2, 2021)
I’ve been watching a fair amount of movies coming from New Zealand lately and I have to say that I’m finding them great viewing and Baby Done is no exception, this Baby-Rom-Com is a film that had me laughing out loud at the journey that Zoe (Matafeo) takes for the nine months after finding out she is pregnant.

A fresh take on the Rom-com with plenty of drama, featuring an all star cast. It's on the same kinda level as Love actually. It features the love lives of various people that are all connected some how. Starting with those on the dating scene trying to read the signs right through to those that have been married for a few years. It's enjoyable and quite funny with a few touching moments too., I like the way all the stories are interwoven together. One of the best Rom-coms in a long while.

Hits the right notes
I found this surprisingly funny and enjoyed the sound track for the film. I'm not a big fan of Musicals and a lot of singing in films, but this still felt more like a Rom/com. You can tell the cast had a blast making this film. Give it a whirl.

Really funny!
Why is a horror podcast talking about a Rom Com? Guess you will have to listen to find out. Join hilarious and informative hosts John Crinan and Zoë Smith as they praddle on whilst having a bottle of red wine (they may have had some ahead of time as well).
There is both style and substance here and a highly recommend!

I'm not a big fan of Ben Stiller to be honest, but found this film ok. Still not up there with the likes of There's something about Mary. However it is better than some he has done. It has quite a few funny scenes and some raunchy ones too for a Rom-com?! Overall a good cast, a bit cheesy in places but an ok film overall.

Wedding Crashers mixed with Bridesmaids
I didn't expect much from this to be honest, but was pleasantly surprised. From the writers of Bad neighbours. This is less Rom/com and more like Wedding Crashers, American Pie type comedy. Funny, Rude and crude but the cast chemistry really works. There are some funny characters and genuine lol moments. Rsvp

Great Rom/Com
As Rom-coms go this is one of the better ones of the last few years. Kinda mixing @Meet the Parents (2000) with @The Devil Wears Prada (2006) Most reviews seem split on the two leads, personally I think they do have a good chemistry in this. Along with a great setting, a strong cast including the funny Betty White (Goldengirls) make this a pleasing film. It is predictable, aren't they all? It does have some good laughs along the way as the love-hate-love relationship unfolds. It's an enjoyable feel good comedy with two good leads.

A touching Rom-Com
Another great film from Richard Curtis who did @Love Actually (2003) @Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994) @Notting Hill (1999) This is very similar in style. Typically British humour and fun characters set within a story about love, family and life in general.
A man discovers he can travel back to earlier moments of his life to make changes but often with unexpected consequences. More of a Rom-Drama but if you are a fan of the other films you'll enjoy this just as much. Also check out @The Time Traveler's Wife (2009)

Jun 20, 2018
A very funny Rom-com without being too soppy. A lot of funny scenes that both sexes should enjoy as a couple try to get back at each other over their break up. A film many will relate to as the plans to out do each other keep escalating all the time as neither want to leave their apartment. Similar to War of the roses, What happens in Vegas.
