My Baby's Daddy

It's idiots on parade as three lifelong pals--played by Undercover Brother's Eddie Griffin, The Sopranos' Michael Imperioli, and Kangaroo Jack's Anthony Anderson (whose mere presence in a film has come to be a harbinger of doom)--all knock up their girlfriends at the same time and Just Can't Cope with fatherhood or growing up. If the timing seems unlikely, it's even more absurd that any woman, even one in the grip of horniest desperation, would end up in bed with one of these losers without doing all that was humanly possible to prevent an accidental mingling of gametes. The toxic nature of baby poop and the supposed male inability to change a diaper is about as high-minded as the comedy gets here; the lows descend to fart jokes and the most predictable kind of class and ethnic stereotypes. On the scale of moviegoing experiences, rate this one on a Tortures of the Damned level. Not recommended. [Note: DVD extras include a seven-minute behind-the-scenes featurette, 18 deleted/extended scenes (including the original ending), a two-minute gag reel, a soundtrack spot, and trailers. Bottom line: who cares?] (M. Johanson)
