So there I was watching what I thought was a user-created short story, and got drawn in. The plot was a bit messy but I liked the main actress (Brittney Rae. Carrera.) She's soft-spoken but has endearing qualities. (Not sure what her dialect is from or if it's "made up" for the show, but I liked it. Almost a lisp-y lightly whispery voice....)

I found out it was part of a "ReelShort" video, available through the app - I only saw the first few "chapters" of the story. So installed the app and watched the rest.

There are times that the acting is "overdone" as you'd see in a soap opera - and that's what this reminded me most of is daytime soaps. The story is unique, the acting overdramatic, but it draws you in.

It's about 1:40 long total, including a little overlap between the 83 "chapters" and flashbacks. The story appears to take place over about 3-4 weeks' time, and has some unrealistic qualities (such as Victoria seeing the same guy for several years, not marrying him, and he suddenly leaves her to drown in a pool to save her sister (who CAN swim) who was his mistress.... like I said - soap opera. And that's the first two minutes - not a spoiler.)

But overall, even with the poor (and excruciatingly large number of) cuts, and the "overdramatic acting", it's still a decent story.

I'd tell them to remake it, make it a little more believable, and turn it into a movie... but for what it is, I give it a 75-80%.

Before ever seeing this movie, I believed babies were capable of a lot more than what we're led to believe... for example, one baby starts crying in a crowded store, and suddenly babies are crying throughout the store. I dubbed this "sympathy crying" where they're all telling each other how bad they have it. ("My mom didn't change my diaper for three hours! By the time I got her to change it, I had a really bad rash!" "Oh yeah? Well my dad forgot to feed me at six! I had to remind him for over a half hour before he finally brought in a bottle!")

Since I've seen this movie, I find it much easier to get babies to smile, and usually give them a knowing look when they start to fuss up... only to have them stop! It's amazing!

The movie is hilarious... Some people apparently think it's a little corny; these people are the same ones who can't watch a comedian without getting bored. The antics, and pure comedy, of this movie makes it worth a watch... I'm still trying to buy a copy; they say it's available, but try to find one for sale!

EDIT: I've since gotten a copy and can watch the Diaper Gang all I want!
