Comedy or drama? Don't try both

Probably the biggest problem with this movie, is that it isn't clear if it is a comedy or a drama. It is funny, it is cute, but the dramatization is weak. And it is there that I missed the point. The purpose was to produce a light movie, but at some point it goes on characters, and it makes it complicated. I'd prefer something more clear, either as a comedy or as a drama. Next time don't try to achieve both in such kind of movie, please.

Making Babies Can Be Hard Work...

John (Steve Howey) & Katie Kelly (Eliza Coupe) are finally moving into their dream home. Once they settle in, it's evident that the two have desires to fall pregnant and begin a whole new chapter of their life. But it turns out that falling pregnant isn't always an easy, simple task. Unable to fall pregnant, John & Katie soon discover that the fulfilment of their desires will take a lot more work than expected as they seek advice, begin medial treatment and tests with support from both friends and family.Naturally this type of film will only attract a certain range of movie lovers (particularly those who have had children or who can relate to a similar journey and the frustration of making a baby). It's a tricky topic to tackle, but thankfully the film does a great job at balancing the humour and heart necessary. Needless to say the best jokes are ones that are rather awkward, such as Katie's mum sharing about her sex life during a wedding service and questioning John's... well, you know.Actors Steve Howey & Eliza Coupe work really positively as the leading characters and were truly convincing on screen as a couple. The jokes and most of the heartfelt moments of this film generally came from the leading actors (well, at least for me it did).The film also has multiple side characters who also try and bring the laughs by using random dialogue. Sadly this didn't always work for me. Also, certain scenes had camera movements which seemed shaky and actually became uncomfortable for the viewer.Overall, while Making Babies isn't a film for everyone, I feel it will be enjoyed by audience members who can relate to trying to fall pregnant and the efforts it can take to see the major miracle of a baby. There are some jokes to be had but some jokes don't always land a laugh either. The film has some heart which was also surprising to see.5.0/10 Walkden Entertainment
