Adopting Trouble

About This Movie

Adopting Trouble has a pretty wild premise that really leans into dark comedy. You've got Nick, the ex-con, and Maryann, the devoted Christian, who go off the deep end trying to become parents. The film plays with some heavy themes like morality and desperation, but it does so with this absurd humor that keeps things from getting too bleak. The pacing feels a bit erratic at times, which actually adds to the chaotic vibe of their scheme. Performances are interesting, especially how the main duo navigates their conflicting ideals. The practical effects aren’t a focus, but there’s a rawness to the storytelling that feels genuine. It's definitely not conventional but it’s distinctive in its own messy way.

Dark humor juxtaposed with serious themes.Uneven pacing enhances the chaotic tone.Distinctive performances that challenge norms.
