KFilm to Watch: Baby and Me (2008)
Baby
And Me/Baby and I (2008)
Entitled, irresponsible, eighteen-year-old high school student
Han Joon-soo (Jang Keun-suk) is out grocery shopping one day and
turns around to find a baby in his shopping cart. There's a note with
the baby, claiming it is his, and suddenly Joon-soo is a father.
Meanwhile Joon-soo's own parents have “run away” from home,
unsure of how to deal with their rebellious son. Will the high school
father be able to balance caring for the baby with finishing his
education? When will Joon-soo's parents return? Is Han Woo-ram even
his baby?
*I
really liked Keun-suk in the Kdrama “You're Beautiful,” so I was
pleasantly surprised to realize he was the main actor in this film.
There are a lot of just plain funny moments, from when the teenage
father tries to get breast milk for the baby, to when the teenager's
homeroom teacher bails him out of jail and then screams at the police
because everyone keeps asking if she's the mom. I didn't care for the
ending (mostly because I don't agree with it), but it was a cute
movie overall. I might watch it again.*
We thought this one was hilarious! I still remember some of the funny parts so well and it's been a few months. Also totally disagreed with the ending. That baby deserved that nice couple, and I hoped that the main character would have realized that. :(
Yeah, most of the world thinks that as long as the child is "loved," it doesn't matter the family situation, but while the ideal cannot always be met, we should always strive for it, which like you said is what that nice couple represented.
