When a movie resorts to scenes of a grown man rolling around on a floor slick with spilled semen samples, something plainly has gone wrong.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
Every so often a movie comes along that's so lame, you can almost make out a "What the hell am I doing here?" thought bubble over an actor's head.
Sara Stewart, New York Post
Rotten
The sole function served by this motion picture is to illustrate how not to frame jokes in movies.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten
The only moments where The Babymakers provides any kind of comic lift come when talented improvisers like Faxon, Heffernan, Chandrasekhar and Aisha Tyler clearly go off-book and noodle their way into something that's actually amusing.
Alonso Duralde, TheWrap
Rotten
"The Babymakers" is amazing in its complete lack of comedy, nearly satirical in its rejection of levity and full-on embrace of mediocrity.
