Paternity Leave (2015)

Too much of everything

Absolutely the worst movie.

It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

So I remember seeing the trailer a few years back when it first came out and it sounded like a smart and funny premise. Never did see it as we live in the streaming era when there are a billion other movies I watched instead. But about a month ago I found it on the Apple Store .99 cent rentals and thought I'd give it a chance...Within the first third I saw how unlikable the main character was that I couldn't even laugh at the what could have been funny plot. He's some pseudo intellectual, stereotypical pompous douche parading around as a relatable mess. His jokes were never funny. On top of that he seems like the actual character irl. Those types of people you'd want to punch after meeting them only once and then actually doing it the second.

This film is not perfect, but it lacks in perfection it makes up for with its tremendous heart and a great sense of irreverent humor. The themes of the story are ones we can all relate to, including relationships, love, and family. The viewer has to be willing to suspend disbelief in order to become fully immersed, but if they will not be disappointed! 7/10 definitely recommendokay I was done writing my review but IMDb said I needed more lines, so here are my lines. I'm writing more lines for filler I'm not great at improvising this feels silly is anybody out there my sister was married to a llama

I had looked forward to seeing this movie for months-- ever since I heard about it this Spring. I finally was able to get my hand on a copy over the weekend and had a very hard time on the number of stars to give it. The story was contrived, but the lead actors seemed to overcome a rather weak script. It is billed as "uproariously funny" but neither me or my husband ever even chuckled. If you are going to tell stories involving men delivering toilet babies, and later an at-home birth in an inflatable pool, some thought should go into the actual mechanical difference of the male and female bodies. Sitting on a toilet makes "some sense" if you can wrap your head around the idea of a baby coming from your colon, but sitting on your derrière in a pool of water would pretty much make it impossible for a "baby" to come out. There were lots of laughs that were left unsaid. This movie was much more a romantic-drama and not really a comedy at all-- until the credits when they go for the cheap laughs of having a white bear portraying a ghetto-queen. Watch it for the acting, not the comedy or the story.

Well, I Think the Movie will be great based on the trailer I have seen. The Movie show what it could look like when a biological male gets pregnant. I am happy that the movie was made, because male pregnancy movies are rare the find. Specially, where the plot centered on a gay couple. I think Jacob York did a good job at portraying a gay pregnant man. This movie is a must see for fans of independent movies and Matt Riddlehoover's work. This romantic comedy is an original in this field. The baby bump looks real and well made. I like how they made the movie the atmosphere looks the relaxed and inviting. All in all, the movie is a well made depiction of a reality we all wish was true.
