The First Time

Uninventive vehicle with Robert Cummings who plays the tired father who has tons of baby bills to pay. The couple's life revolves around all of the troubles that involve a new baby, such as lack of sleep, feeding times, etc etc. But- although the film revolves around a baby, an hour into the film: WHERE IS THE BABY?

The viewers aren't even treated to see the new baby after its born! Where was it?? Isn't the most important aspect of this movie the baby?? Even as the mother recovers in the hospital after just giving birth, there was no mother and baby introduction (????!). When mother and father finally leave the hospital, the mother leaves with a bundled up wad of blankets- we are supposed to imagine there is a baby in there. After parents arrive back at home, we can hear "baby cries"- movie sound effects- but no baby is ever shown. The actors playing the grandmothers, the new nanny, all apparently are peering into an empty bassinet. Un-freakin-believable.

An hour into waiting for the baby to be shown, I never did see ANY baby. Only baby crying sound effects, wadded up blankets, not even a baby foot. No baby. Got so angry I turned the stupid movie off. No laughs, no great dialogue, just a bunch of used up jokes about how much a baby costs.

Wasted a good hour waiting for a non-existent "baby".

BOOOOOO!
