Makin' Baby

Michael and Alicia are newlyweds. Alicia is keen to have a child and practices techniques that will help her achieve her goal. Sometimes, this frustrates Michael. It is hard to be intimate at specific times, after all. Michael is also pursuing a career in rap music, so at the moment, Alicia is the chief bread winner. Enter Erin. This slimy music executive wants to sign Michael to a contract and steal him away from Alicia. Will these two newly married sweethearts stay together? This movie has some good things going for it. The two stars are very appealing, physically and dramatically. The settings and costumes were chosen well and the soundtrack has some nice moments. However, the language is offensive at times, especially from Mystikal. Touted, as the star of the film, Mystikal actually has a supporting role and his performance is sullen and surly. The plot line also shows a vengeful attitude. For those who would like to view a romantic comedy with African American stars, you might do better with films such as Breakin' All the Rules and Love Jones. However, if you can tune out the bad elements, Alicia and Michael are a head turning couple. Enjoy!

Those two guys Trilin and Trae rocked in this movie - they were hilarious. I wonder why they don't give them their own film to be in? And who would have thought that Mystikal can actually act? Well, if you liked Vatos or Tailsting, then you will love this movie!!!

Finally, a film for retarded people. Thanks to mentally retarded writer Brennon Jones and visually impaired director Paul Wynne "Makin' Baby" eliminates the problems most retarded people have with following or understanding films, while at the same time puts the average viewer in the shoes of a thousand such retards. If there is a mentally handicapped person close to you, I suggest you rent 'Making Baby', cook up a batch of S'mores, sit back and witness the joy.

The complete disregard for logic or film language make this entertaining romp unforgettable, much like Screech Powers' excellent campaign video for Zach Morris' Presidential bid during the third season of Saved by the Bell...only not as good. But it does have one feature which was blatantly absent from that otherwise perfect master work: MYSTIKAL

Although he does not appear nearly as much as the above the title credit or prominent appearance on both the box and DVD art would have you believe, Mystikal provides the classic one-two punch that fans have begun to expect from the established rapper/rapist. Except that he never raps. Newcomer Robert Van Newkirk shines as Ludwig, Mystikal's ever present companion and implied homosexual mate. His cries of "Hey, shut up over there" are raw and genuine, though he is just as capable of letting his sideburns do the talking. People all over America are already trying to take credit for this discovery, touted by some industry veterans as "not just the next Lorenzo Lamas - but the first Robert Van Newkirk. Period."

Yes, I think we can all expect big things from Robert Van Newkirk, and in 4 to 6 years from Mystikal as well. As for Paul Wynne and Brennon Jones, God bless you guys and keep those chins up. Remember, there's no handicaps in Heaven.
