Her comedic sensibilities are clearly well-refined \u2013 and the character\u2019s inner conflict always feels authentic \u2013 but fans of her stand-up are likely to find the comedy lacking in edge.<\/p>\n<p>Zoe is an arborist and runs a small business shearing trees with her partner, Tim (Matthew Lewis). From the opening scene of them on a job, we get a good sense of their dynamic \u2013 she is the more reckless adventurer, and he is more likely to follow rules anxiously. Their chemistry makes them likeable even if their characters feel familiar. Director Curtis Vowell captures their offkey dynamic and deep aversion to their peers settling down into family life, and writer Sophie Henderson\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">script<\/a> steadily unpicks how their communication failures and conflicting stances on parenting are threatening their young, carefree lifestyles. <\/p>\n<p>While their characterisation is effective, it still feels a little basic. Our characters\u2019 goals are the first sign of weak plotting: Zoe\u2019s dream is to compete in an international tree-climbing tournament. Coming up with a competition for the protagonist\u2019s specific interest feels one-dimensional; apart from being extremely convenient for them, it doesn\u2019t require our character to change or grow to achieve their goal. Instead, they need to keep doing the one thing we know they like at the same level of quality. There is not much of a dilemma presented between committing to raising a child and enjoying an adventurous lifestyle, or having Zoe second-guess herself with every progression towards one or the other. In its current state, the character work is too simplistic to sustain dramatic investment.<\/p>\n<p>BABY DONE is characterised by fairly lacklustre and messy storytelling peppered with moments of inspired comedy and heart. Awkwardness characterises most of the comedy. While some of it is appropriate, like Zoe and Tim initiating a threesome with a close friend, the frequent use of uncomfortable humour renders many scenes tedious. That tediousness is compounded by motionless camerawork, composed of flat, motionless angles; shots populated by comic characters who rely too heavily on being more rude or weird than is <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social<\/a>ly acceptable.<\/p>\n<p>That said, there is effective comedy sprinkled throughout the film. Occasionally, there will be a well-timed, unexpected gag that lands perfectly. Whether it\u2019s a bout of unexpected morning sickness or an inappropriately-timed confetti cannon, Matafeo and Lewis get to show their comedic skills in ways that feel fitting for their characters. <\/p>\n<p>Some additions, however, are less welcome. In what feels like an isolated offhand joke, we\u2019re introduced to a \u201cpreggophile\u201d (someone aroused by pregnant women) who Zoe subsequently gets involved with. The awkward, uncomfortable humour rears its head here again, but any charm from its previous use has dissipated. Seeing Zoe feeling discomfort because of this man is not amusing, there\u2019s one throwaway joke implying he\u2019s a predator, and by the time Zoe is in his apartment wearing a cast of her baby bump we\u2019re screaming at her to get as far away from him as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Members of the Kiwi improv troupe Snort (which Matafeo is also a part of) show up in unremarkable cameos that don\u2019t take full advantage of their improvisation skills. A highlight is a welcome appearance from Rachel House (HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE) as a school principal who spars well with Matafeo with comic dialogue. However, the scene mainly works because Zoe is pretending to be her high-school-aged colleague\u2019s mother, and therefore is giving an exaggerated performance of motherhood, something she\u2019s been fighting for the whole story. There\u2019s a dramatic purpose to the scene that helps Zoe reflect on her journey.<\/p>\n<p>This storytelling focus is lacking in other parts of the film. Realising that their lives will be completely transformed in a post-baby world, Zoe and Tim start compiling a list of things they want to do before the birth. It\u2019s a good device for showing the differences in each of their values and priorities, and conflict soon germinates between them on the back of this. But at a certain point, the list is just forgotten about, and the story\u2019s unfocused progress deprives the film of a solid, clear narrative throughline.<\/p>\n<p>At its heart, BABY DONE is a film about being uncomfortable adopting the roles of parenthood, and realising they\u2019re only as restricting as we allow them to be. The film\u2019s shortcomings aren\u2019t from a lack of ideas, but rather from their execution. There\u2019s a compelling story somewhere in BABY DONE, it just never manifests impressively. Engaging performances, funny moments and promises of absorbing drama feel all the more unsatisfying when we see the undisciplined way the story is told. The audience might enjoy the journey in parts, but they\u2019ll mainly reflect on the lack of meaningful connection they had to the characters and their problems.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"BABY DONE Trailer (2020) Matthew Lewis, Comedy Movie\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Fulv5ACoAoE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n    <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
