Baby on Board, a review by Rich

Baby on Board



Power couple Angela (Heather Graham) and Curtis (Jerry O'Connell) have a seemingly flawless marriage, but a surprise pregnancy could end up turning their carefully ordered world upside down in this riotous rollercoaster of a romantic comedy. Between their know-it-all best friends (John Corbett and Katie Finneran) and Angela's task-master boss (Lara Flynn Boyle), the perfect pair could end up imploding before the bundle of joy's even born.

Unoriginal, unfunny, unpleasant and unappetising.
Tired old predictable story, a cast that should have known better, and so poorly scripted it did not raise one laugh from me during the whole movie.
Avoid this, even if it soon finds its way into the bargain bins.

Dreams of love that she wanted both her sons to experience, more so Rahul as she shares a special bond with him. A bond that has been cultivated with love for a child that was never meant to be... a child who was adopted. Rahul's adoption was a secret never discussed in the Raichand household. Ever since Rahul found out at the age of 8 years, it became the reason for his unending gratitude for his parents- especially his father. His father's every wish became a command for him. A command which he never breaks until he falls in love with Anjali (Kajol)- a bubbly girl from Chandni Chowk, who dotes on her younger sister Pooja (Kareena Kapoor). Rahul marries Anjali and brings her home but his father doesn't approve of her. Rahul thus decides to leave home causing his mother's every waking moment to be spent eagerly awaiting his return.

I had the urge to watch this movie again. Again I didn't mind that it was 3.5 hours long. This movie was one of the first Bollywood movies I had seen and at that time, I didn't know most of the actors yet. Now this movie is full of familiar faces for me. We have Kajol, who starred in "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" and "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge", playing the love interest of SRK. We have lovely Rani Mukherji as the childhood friend, who SRK's character was supposed to marry according to his father. We have Kareena Kapoor, who plays a similar role as in "Mujhse Dosti Karoge". That of a spoiled brat with a good heart. Even the boy who counts stars from "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" makes a cameo appearance.
I didn't like the movie as much as the director's latest effort ("Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna"), but it was fun nonetheless.

Tom's Random Star Trek Reviews, a review by Tom

I just noticed that I forgot to view the last Q episode ever: "Q2"
Probably the reason that I forgot to watch it is, that I have recently watched sfdebris' review of it, and I got the feeling that I watched the whole episode now.
