I was provided with a copy of the movie Making Babies for review purposes. The video was provided to me by Samuel Goldwyn Films. Opinions are my own.
I often review movies for the blog and most of them are for kids and families. This one is not. This is for mom and dad to watch after the kids go to bed. In fact,kids, do not watch the trailer either. I am putting it here so that adults can watch and determine if they would like to watch the movie. I was initially unsure if I should check this movie out. The thing that sold me was Steve Howey and Eliza Coupe. I like both of these actors and wanted to see how well they worked together. the other reason that I had reservations was that the subject matter is not funny for people who are going through infertility. I wanted to see how the movie handled the material. Were the jokes going to be at the expense of the situation or something else. Take a look at the trailer and if it interests you then read on. for me opinion of what I watched.
I have now seen Christopher Robin two and 3/4 times. I say 2 3/4 times because the most recent time was at home with the whole family after I had come home from a trip and was about to head back to work for the weekend. I my exhaustion and snuggles with Andrew I fell asleep during the middle of the movie. I saw all the beginning that told the story of Christopher growing up, quickly, and then falling in love with Evelyn. Then he has to go off to war and leave his pregnant wife home. He returns several years later to meet his daughter for the first time. The movie picks up with Christopher working for a luggage company. Responsibilities of his job keep him from spending time with his family. He has lost his ability to play. He has grown up and forgotten his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood. That is until he is reminded of them and a visit from Winnie the Pooh changes his life.
