Baby Done is a comedic film focusing on a character named Zoe (Rose Matafeo), who is petrified of becoming a first-time mum and tries to ignore it for as long as possible. In contrast, Tim (Matthew Lewis) embraces becoming a first-time father and starts to accept what is about to happen to him and how his life will change, for the sake of the newborn that is fast approaching both Zoe and Tim’s lives.
As Zoe is scared about this and how her life is about to change, she tries to accomplish as much as possible from her bucket list before the new arrival. However, as time progresses, she realizes that the due date is fast approaching, pushing Zoe further into denial and her relationship with Tim to the absolute limit.
From watching this film, I found it amusing, and the way the producers directed it, they did a great job of showing the unpreparedness of parenthood in a comedic sense, with some cringeworthy scenes thrown in for additional laughs.
I enjoyed this film from start to end, and it sends a message to young couples who may be in a long-term relationship and are blissfully unaware of what is about to approach them in their lives, warning them that ignoring the changes in their lives is about to change forever. It does help bring couples like this into the reality that this is real and happening, and to be prepared. However, I had a few questions about how Zoe was unaware of her pregnancy’s progress when she visited her doctor. How did she manage to ignore kicking from the baby or notice her periods were not present, as her reaction was that of a very shocked individual when told how far along she was in pregnancy?
Apart from this, I enjoyed the film; it is hilarious and a film that doesn’t require too much attention or a lot of background thinking, other than my questioning on being unaware of the pregnancy.
The chemistry on screen between Rose Matafeo and Matthew Lewis allows for a laid-back, enjoyable watch of the film, making it funny for the viewer. The film’s writing and directing have been executed so well, allowing viewers to feel involved in the story through its realism, emotional depth, and comedic elements.
This film is now available to stream on available networks, including being available to watch now on Sky Cinema!
I rate this film 5 stars!
