Mamaboy

Acting wasn't very good at all, with the "emotional" scenes seeming sarcastic at best. If you know anything at all about pregnancy and childbirth it is infuriating to watch, and it ends up being pretty Christian. It could be a really cute movie, but there's no showing of bonding between characters at pretty much any point. Lots of plot holes and untied loose ends, and a lot of the things characters do don't make any sense in the storyline, and the arcs aren't told well at all. The writing seemed amateur, the acting as well. To some extent the child actors can be excused but still pretty shoddy even with the adults. Really creepy nurse that was supposed to be "funny", I guess? She just came off as pedophilic and was the worst character, even in the sea of poorly developed characters. Fun to watch with friends and make fun of.

Watched this tonight and wasn't expecting much from reading the synopsis but just wanted a fun movie to kill a night. I ended up really liking it. The idea is pretty original and handled in an interesting way. Watching Kelly and what he went through as far as being embarrassed and even shunned, and all the physical changes he went through really drives home what young girls go through when pregnant. Somehow seeing it from the guys point of view gives more sympathy for the girls. I think we just take things for granted when a girl is pregnant but watching a guy lose friends, have his peers whisper about him, start sucking at things he loves like baseball, it brings home the realities.

A lot of these actors are not well known yet even saw some that it was their first role (at least first listed on IMDb) and I thought they all did fine The kid who plays Kelly has a really expressive face and does emotion well, I expect we'll see him in more. And Ditto, he'll be playing the stoner guy in everything soon no doubt. I was also impressed by the little brother, his acting was very natural which is sometime tough for young kids. The Nurses character was hilarious and she played it well. No one was bad, that in itself is a pretty good feat for any movie! Production value was good, sound and lighting on point, music fit well. All in all comes across as a larger budget film then what it's listed on IMDb.

Oh and Busey....... Random ....... loved it! The only thing that bugged me (and its no big deal really) and is why I didn't give a 9 or 10 was I couldn't figure out if this was one of those Christian production movies or something. A few things like when Kelly's dad is talking to him really came across that way but then the whole topic of the movie doesn't seem like it would be. I really don't care either way, I'll watch either kind of movie as long as it's good. It just kind of bugged me.

Same idea as in old movie seitenstechen with Mike Krüger,which is much better.

How you get a fetus from a girl to a boy Who doesnt have a womb. did you just put it in his belly? everything about the idea of the movie is not right. and how everybody at his school didnt find his swollen belly weird, is... wrong. dont waste your time to watch this movie.

THIS MOVIE IS THE BEST WRITTEN PIECE OF LITERATURE EVER. EVERY SINGLE FRAME HAS SO MUCH EMOTION AND DEPTH PUT INTO IT, ALONG WITH HAVING SOME OF THE BEST HUMOR EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE UNIVERSE. WORDS ALONE CANNOT DESCRIBE HOW INCREDIBLE THIS WORK OF ART IS, AND I CANNOT RECOMMEND IT ENOUGH. IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL TO NOT WATCH THIS MOVIE, AND ALL COUNTRIES SHOULD MAKE A LAW WHICH FORCES PEOPLE TO WATCH IT. MAMABOY IS SIMPLY THAT INCREDIBLE. AMEN.

(Jokes aside, it's not abhorrent but it's not good either. I recommend you watch it with friends exclusively to make fun of it or else you will receive little enjoyment from watching this nonsensical movie. I'd be lying if I said I didn't have fun making fun of it.)
