Frankenstein's Baby

About This Movie

Frankenstein's Baby is a quirky gem from 1990 that blends comedy with a dash of sci-fi absurdity. The premise, where Dr. Eva Frankenstein helps Paul become the first pregnant man, sets a tone that's both playful and a bit offbeat. The humor is often tongue-in-cheek, with a certain charm that rides on the absurdity of the situation. The pacing meanders at times, but it adds to the carefree vibe of this TV movie. Practical effects, while not groundbreaking, have a certain charm that feels nostalgic. Performances are a mixed bag; some actors embrace the silliness while others play it more straight. It's definitely a distinct entry that pokes fun at societal norms around family and masculinity, making it quite an interesting watch for collectors who appreciate off-kilter narratives.
