The film shows that love is capable of crossing all boundaries.

Rating: Null/10 (27 April 2009)

The central theme of the film is that opposites attract. Even though two people can be different in so many ways, love has way of making ones partners annoying habits their own. Ben and Allison are as different as night and day, but they still manage to fall in love. Debbie, the older sister of Allison is not necessarily compatible with her husband Pete because he always finds ways to escape their home life. Allison meets Ben in a club after her and her sister Debbie decides to have a night on the town. Allison, overly drunk decides to invite Ben back to her home for a night cap. In the scenes at the bar the director uses a subjective point of view as the alcohol that Allison and Ben have consumed begins to
affect them. A casual meeting between Allison and Ben at the bar turns into a lust filled evening rather quickly.
After Ben and Allison awake in the morning after the club ordeal, Allison realizes the error of her ways and decides that she made a terrible mistake sleeping with Ben. Weeks later, Allison discovers that she is pregnant with Ben's baby. In the scenes leading up to Allison's discovery that she is pregnant the director uses a flash forward to jump ahead in time a few weeks. The primary plot of the movie is that
two total opposites unintentionally make a child and fall in love in the process. Another plot of the movie was watching Ben grow up in front of his friends. In the beginning of the film, Ben and his friends were all alcoholics and pot smokers. The scene in the hospital where Ben's friends appeared concerned about Ben and the baby's well being, the director uses an objective point of view. The hospital scene
signaled a turning point in the way Ben's friends viewed life. The movie "Baby Mama" is similar to the film "Knocked Up" because its storyline is about pregnancy, falling in love and growing up in the process. An excellent motif in the film would be the fact that both Ben and Martin (Debbie's) husband were both womanizers in the scenes they were in together. This motif was relevant to the theme because even though Ben and Martin were both Womanizers in the beginning, in the end realized how much they loved their women. The setting for Ben and Martins womanizing ways was always around the dinner table. This film is a laugh out loud romantic comedy that is sure to have audiences falling out of their seats. The film shows that love is capable of crossing all boundaries. If a successful business woman and a drug addict can make love work then surely anything is possible.
