A Classic Baby Sitting Movie
Baby And Me is a story about a High School student Jun Su,who was given an unusual and unfamiliar duty of taking care of a baby when his parent left. This is a very enjoyable. Refreshing and original as well. It was a mix of drama and comedy. The audience will be entertained from beginning to end. Also,it works very well on its theme about maturity and responsibility. Aside from that, the acting was great as well. The unusual chemistry between Jang Geun Suk and his infant co-star, Mason Moon was very effective. Personally, I do believe that this is better than both Millionaire's First Love and The Cyborg Girl. Also, the situation looks very realistic as well. It is highly recommended and a must-see as well.
Surprisingly enjoyable
First up ,I'm not a fan of Kpop. However, this show reminds me initially of Beelzebub, although later that diverged greatly. It is enjoyable as it has comedic and reflecting moments, while not being overly dramatic. Ploy was consistent for most of the movie, though there were some part which seem convenient. However, the main plot of the movie is really heartwarming as it explores love, family ties, forgiveness, sacrifice etc among other deeply touching topics. Not sure why the ratings and other reviews are so bad but generally it does show the hardship of a single parent, especially one with other issues. And how they need the help of those who know of their plight.
Learn a lesson, watch this movie!
The movie gets interesting right from the start because it's not going to be what you expect and it's definitely not a copy of some popular Western movies. To me it was like a drug: I couldn't keep my eyes off the screen. The funny characters are so funny that for me it was enough having a look at their expression to burst out laughing. Good acting, excellent story and a very profound life lesson to be learned. You don't need to be Korean to get it: watch it!
Movie that can easily be ignored
This movie is as cliché as it gets. Generic cast made from your basic templates, absolutely nothing that stands out. Negligible plot and premise that leads to no sympathy. The growth of the character is so forced and out of place and the environment just leads to more questions and confusion. The humour is forced and lackluster and if you're looking for a heartwarming comedy then this isn't the show for you. I personally wouldn't recommend this show to anyone. The only redeeming factor of this show is the adorable baby but they somehow manage to ruin it by using a voice-over for cheap comedy. I can remember scenes that would have been much better had the baby not said anything. However I can't discount the fact that people who enjoy Korean-based TV shows would enjoy it because a favorite actor of theirs is in it. I don't know any of these actors and I'm reviewing it based solely on my enjoyment.
Oh Baby! This movie was below average. This rattle barely made any noise.
Don't get me wrong, I don't really hate this lighthearted and quirky South Korean movie to the point that it needs to be aborted. It's not a smelly diaper. It's just pretty mediocre. The drama and comedy didn't mixed well. Because of that, this film and I wouldn't party at my crib, anytime soon! Directed by Kim Jin-young, and loosely based on a Japanese manga by author Marimo Ragawa, the film tells the story of rebellious high school student, Han Joon-Soo (Jang Keun-Suk) who sees his life take a strange turn when he goes to the grocery store and someone leaves a baby, Woo-Ram (Moon Mason) in his shopping cart, along with a note claiming he's the father. Although the situation in the film is somewhat similar to the source material, there is a lot of things that are different. Without spoiling the movie, too much, the first thing to note, is while the film's main character is a troublemaker high school student that goes through character development; in the manga, the main character is a model hard working boy next door, fifth grader. In addition to that, Han Joon-soo has a baby, because of pregnancy; in contrast, the original comic had Takuya Enoki deal with a younger brother after his mother dies and his father is too busy. Despite the changes, the movie does have some, really good emotional moments. Even if some of them, are ruin, by over the top acting from supporting characters, out of place sound effects, and really bad voice-acting from comedian, Park Myeong-Su, who gives the baby, a very angry, very jarring, adult husky sound. Somebody please put a pacifier on that 1989's film "Look Who's Talking" style of humor. It was getting kinda annoying. Most of the jokes fall somewhat flat for me, anyways. There were barely any scenes that I found, really funny. Lots of really crude jokes that kinda anger me. I thought some of them, weren't needed. A good example of one is Han rubbing the dirty diaper on a fellow student books, just because that student wanted to study, without the baby distracting him. That was really not call for. There is also clearly several language barrier mistranslates in the subtitles from Korean to English that really confused, the living hell, out of me. One good example is the whole sub-plot of Han Joon Soo & the school. While, I don't know, much about Korean schools, I do know, enough, that they tend to be highly rigorous with their long studying program and make the majority of student, unhappy. So, why was the unfortunate Han Joon Soo in high school in the first place, if he didn't like it!? It's not like here, where high school is mandatory. Isn't he eighteen? Isn't he, technically an adult? Doesn't he, have the choice of going to school? Also, why did the parents felt the need to run away? They have the right to kick him out. It doesn't make sense. Also, what was the connection with him with his teacher, Mrs. Cho (Kim Jung-nan)? Why is she so into Han Joon Soo's business? Is she in love with her student? Another thing, how in the hell does she get away with beating up students? How in the hell, was she able to get Han, out of jail, when he acts up? Something is a bit off here. Talking about off love-interest, what was the deal with the brainy neighbor girl, Kim Byul (Song Ha-yoon) that wears preposterous chicken outfit, time after time, becomes his surrogate co-parent. Don't get me wrong, Song Ha-Yoon's acting is alright, but her character seem a bit fake and unrealistic. She felt like a manic pixie girl. Plus, Han Joon Soo barely does anything to help her with her life, so what is the connection, here. However, the main issues with the movie come during the final-act, where clichés begin to pile on and the story becomes very predictable and generic. It gotten so bad, that there is airplane love-chase scene. Not kidding! Also, at this point, the story begins to develop a strong sense of false emotion with Jang Keun-Suk overacting. It's doesn't feel very effective. The pacing is also a bit off, as the movie went a little too long for my taste. There is way too many subplots with Han Joon Soo's friends and their problems. The whole severe poverty and sick mother scene, felt a different movie. Overall: This movie is not as good as I thought, it should be. While, it's beautifully shot. It's clearly has some growing up to do.
