A Surprisingly Unforgettable Movie!

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Kestrin Pantera the writer/director and ALSO the lead actress is front and center in this quirky indie romantic comedy/road trip and she is really entertaining, kind of twist on Parker Posey so she's got a lot of irony that plays well and plausibly with her real life husband, who's a perfect dead pan foil to her live spark, I just got into these two characters and their hijinks on this rolling RVIP karaoke bus, they should turn it into a mock doc reality series to tell you the truth with all the menagerie of crazy characters they meet, kind of The Office meets...Community? Sorry if I'm reaching with false references but this is an inspired piece of original work by two gutsy indy filmmakers doing it all themselves, its exactly what you want in an indy film...the emotion and originality is all there and has its own power, notwithstanding the budget...why can't you find these type of films on airplanes? Answer..;they're crowded out by studio product but I love watching films on airplanes I admit it and I would have loved to have found this on my recent transatlantic flight...really worth a watch...

This is a authentic & heartwarming film that sheds some much needed light on one of the many gray areas in life. The one where you're finally stable enough to fathom spawning but also finally fulfilled enough to enjoy the fruits of your life long labor (to this point) and celebrate without having to be responsible for human life... But the clock is ticking. Falling in love is the easy part and I think we've all seen enough movies about that. Charming and honest, this film is packed with obviously funny moments as well as subtle "chuckle to yourself" relatable moments that connect you to all of the characters in one way or another.. It's basically an adventure to babyland that doesn't hold back from addressing the real bummers we all face along the way, and manages to make them all seem less heavy through the ever refreshing "I've totally been there" moments. Regardless of if you have kids or not, I recommend checking this film out - it's a pleasure to watch and simply uplifting without being cheesy or sensationalized.

I was seriously misinformed when it came to my expectations of Let's Ruin it with Babies – but that's okay, the film was pretty good anyway.Inspired by and based loosely on Kestrin Pantera's real life, Let's Ruin it with Babies is about a carefree bohemian woman named Channing as she comes of age and accepts adulthood.Let's Ruin It With Babies thinks its plot summary is: "Channing has it all: a beautiful home, a rock star lifestyle, and a loving husband intent on ruining it all by knocking her up."But it would be wrong. Yes, Channing and Chaz, her husband, are pretty cool cats. They own a swanky abode and have quirky cool dinner parties and talk about real hipster issues. They even own their own business, a super hip RVip Transportainment vehicle that combines drinking, karaoke singing, and driving – which they oh so relevantly funded through a crowd-sourcing site. But, back to the parties – at one especially tricked out party Chaz announces to their group of friends that they are no longer actively attempting not to get pregnant. Channing doesn't seem too sold on the idea – but it's what you're supposed to do, right? While on their cross-country road trip de festival, Channing mulls over her life and her decision to, you guessed it: ruin it with babies.Admittedly, my first impressions of and reason for watching this film was pretty far off base. I thought this was a foreign film and expected the quirky perspective and sly humor that goes along with it. Note, the minds behind this film are about as far from 'quirky foreign' as they can get – being not just Californians but from the ancillary town of angels, aka Los Angeles. It's okay though, just means the film was a bit dryer and a lot more hipsterly.As a film, Let's Ruin it with Babies is entertaining but slow with most of the narrative being filler and the brunt of the story being possibly told in thirty minutes or less if Pantera was more succinct. The filler scenes are engaging and slightly add to the plot; but more often than not have no implication or integration with the bigger picture and conclusion of the film. It seems as though there was a general feel for the direction of the story but that most of the dialogue was improvised – as it was slow and unaffected and didn't feel deliberate.Further the camera work is shaky, with lots of hand-held work and not much steadicam shots, indicative of an independent film. If you are okay with all of those things and that specific visual style ideal then Let's Ruin it with Babies will be more of a hit for you.Even though the film is called Let's Ruin it with Babies, there is still an open market for making a fun comedic movie about the socially constructed pressure put on burgeoning adults to take the next step and pursue procreation. Instead what you get is a story about a woman coming to terms with taking the next step as an adult, and yes, ruining it with babies.Please check out our WEBSITE for more reviews of ALL the recent releases.

I thought this movie would be different from the mainstream crap that is out there trying to convince people that having babies is bliss when it's a lot of hard work that costs a lot of money and not an obligation to society. But this is just another mainstream load of crap. Might as well have the Corporate, GOP, Catholic, Mormon baby-making stamp of approval on it. Don't waste your time. She doesn't want babies, she's happy with her life. She has an awesome life. But her stupid boyfriend wants a baby. Yeah we've all heard this story before, but in real life. "I don't really want any but he does so I'll have one just for him." Give me a break. Please. Then all of the sudden she's sitting on top of the world and she's hit the glass ceiling for happiness. Tah dah! Babies make you happy! It's crap. Pure drivel. Crap. (there's your ten lines IMDb)
