Waste of time

Highly Overrated But Still Good

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

There comes a time in everyone's life where you come to a fork in the road... will you keep doing the same thing that makes you incredibly happy, or will you take a risk to do something else that might make you even happier? Channing and her husband Chaz, played believably by the film's director, Kestrin Pantera, and her real-life husband, Jonathan Grubb, have a pretty rockin' relationship. They truly love and respect each other and manage to make each day full of fun and creative vision (and rockstar partying). So, yeah, why eff up the perfect life with having babies that keep you up all night and day and seriously change your whole dynamic? The journey of maturity from awesome, kid-free hipsters to even-awesomer, hipster parents is a very fun and sweet story that made me so happy to watch. If you ever dreamed about having a life in which your friends are the coolest, most creative and fun people you know, then you will fall in love with this movie and all the characters in it. The lush, beautiful cinematography is a standout for an indie. And the film's lead actress (and director) Kestrin Pantera is clearly a creative force. I hope to see more of her both in front of the camera and behind the lens. Bravo!

I recently saw this film pop up on Amazon Prime and decided to give it a shot. While it isn't perfect, it is still a really nice indie film, and I really enjoyed it. The acting was quite solid and the storyline kept me interested throughout. It terms of story and characters, I found both to be quite charming, and the film had the right amount of humor. Like I said, the acting was solid. I particularly liked the girl who played Channing, however, the entire cast did well as an ensemble.I look forward to seeing more from this director. Give it a shot especially if you have a Prime account.

I thought this movie would be different from the mainstream crap that is out there trying to convince people that having babies is bliss when it's a lot of hard work that costs a lot of money and not an obligation to society. But this is just another mainstream load of crap. Might as well have the Corporate, GOP, Catholic, Mormon baby-making stamp of approval on it. Don't waste your time. She doesn't want babies, she's happy with her life. She has an awesome life. But her stupid boyfriend wants a baby. Yeah we've all heard this story before, but in real life. "I don't really want any but he does so I'll have one just for him." Give me a break. Please. Then all of the sudden she's sitting on top of the world and she's hit the glass ceiling for happiness. Tah dah! Babies make you happy! It's crap. Pure drivel. Crap. (there's your ten lines IMDb)

"Let's Ruin It With Babies" is the perfect title for this cheeky and sleek modern comedy from Kestrin Pantera, about a young woman with a perfect-looking hipster life -- a sweet husband, a cool house, great friends, and a kick ass career with a pop culture creative project (an all- comers-welcomed mobile karaoke RV) that's taking off on a great trajectory. It seems like she's got it all.But while her husband is ready to drag her across the threshold into parenthood, she's not sure she's ready to go quietly; what follows is a road-movie/romantic comedy narrative that tests the connection between a likable young married couple as they work through their major life decision across the miles through a thick haze of karaoke and her road-trip party bus responsibilities.The rich is cinematography a perfect complement to the ever-so-hip but entirely earnest lifestyle of its characters and their emotional immersion in their karaoke project. The fact that the RVIP Lounge is a real-life mobile karaoke RV that actually exists in the world, and that the fictional couple are its real-life proprietors who filmed the movie while on the road with said project, adds generously to its charm and their chemistry -- which makes the viewer all the more eager to see what will come of the couple's conundrum. It's nice to see a romantic comedy that begins with a married couple already very much in love, and tackles a real and relevant issue for our culture, as more women face the parenthood vs. career decision and wait longer and longer to have children, or choose not to do it at all. If there is any criticism, it's that one might wish for more of the on board karaoke experience that the characters swear "changes peoples' lives!" but this is a minor squabble; for an indie it probably would have been cost prohibitive to actually license more pop music for such scenes, and in the end, the important thread is the lead character's connection to the view of the rest of her life. The end result is a very funny and emotionally aware film about the sometimes-conflicting realities of marriage and family.
