DVD Reviews of She's Having a Baby
DVD Review: "She's Having a Baby"...and lets us watch!
Summary: 4 Stars
Kevin Smith, of Jay and Silent Bob fame, lauded this film as one of his favorite John Hughes films. He has good taste!
"She's Having a Baby" is a darling film about two young kids going through the typical motions of getting married, going to college, buying a house, having a baby and ultimately, growing up. We open at their wedding, seeing Kevin Bacon's character, Jake Briggs, trying to cope with his fear of geting married and growing up. Alec Baldwin plays his best friend, Davis, who is constantly trying to remind Jake of the free life he could be living if he wasn't tied down with the ol' ball and chain. He tells him they could leave now, he could forget the whole thing, just say the word! Jake truly loves Kristi, (Elizabeth McGovern's character), and chooses her over the bachelor lifestyle that Davis enjoys because he knows that type of life is not all it's cracked up to be and "there's more to life than getting laid."
Kristi is obviously the more mature person in the relationship, as we can see when her and Jake go to a club and Kristi is not having as good a time as Jake. We can see it all just from her expression that this was probably one of their old haunts and she grew out of it. We know that Jake probably convinced her to go and she just went along with it for his sake. When Jake leaves Kristi to head to the bathroom, someone tries to ask her out, but we can tell from her body language that she says no because she is happily married. Jake, on the other hand, is trying to cope with temptation from the pretty blonde who is flirting with him across the club and who we meet again a couple of times throughout the film.
We watch as Jake tries to secure a job that will pay him enough to support himself and Kristi while trying to pursue his true dream of being a writer in his spare time. After he has been working for a while, Kristi finally decides that she is ready for a family without consulting Jake first, which leads to some very funny scenes that play out in Jake's imagination. Problems arise later on in the film when Davis tries to seduce Kristi, Kristi can't get pregnant and a heartbreaking moment when things don't look good for them as a family.
Ultimately, this movie shows us how two people can make a relationship work, despite all the outside influence that is trying to bring them down, from money troubles and family stress to temptation to stray and anything else you can imagine having raining down on your relationship. You feel good after watching this movie, like there truly is hope in the simplicity of true love in the face of doubt.
A great side benefit to this film is its soundtrack. There are some lesser known tracks from Everything But the Girl and Love & Rockets, and some cute tracks like the title track by Dave Wakeling and "You Just Haven't Earned It Yet, Baby" by Kirsty MacColl. There is also a scene in the movie which features Kate Bush's "This Woman's Work" that is a real tear-jerker. Hughes likes to play around with montages in this film and each one is good at evoking emotion from the audience.
