Critic Reviews

New Times (L.A.) Gregory Weinkauf

Maybe Baby is Elton's stab at romantic comedy, and it's a strong feature debut, spiffy, quick-witted and more than a little shocking in its unflinching acknowledgement of English people having sex. Read full review

Chuck Wilson

A film we hereby proclaim the finest fertility comedy ever made, in the faint hope that another will not be attempted. Read full review

Stephen Holden

A juggling act between high soap opera and low comedy, Maybe Baby manages to keep its pins in the air until very near the end. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

There are some light chuckles to be had, but considering its promising parentage, this is surprisingly soft stuff. Read full review

Mr. Showbiz Kevin Maynard

This one's all labor pains, and, in the end, nothing gets delivered.

Jan Stuart

This new romantic comedy from the U.K. lands on an emotional gold mine only to spin it into synthetic straw. Read full review

Lou Lumenick

This would be a stultifyingly incestuous affair even if all the jokes about fertilization weren't so tiresomely lame and predictable.
