Paternity

About This Movie

Paternity is a curious slice of early '80s comedy, really capturing that blend of humor and heart without pushing too hard. Buddy Evans, played by a surprisingly charming actor, navigates the chaotic world of New York event management while contemplating fatherhood—a theme that feels both timely and relatable. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that just adds to the offbeat charm. The surrogate mother plot gives a unique twist, delving into family dynamics and societal expectations. Performances are solid, with a standout from the housekeeper, Celia, who adds warmth and comic relief. The practical effects are minimal, but the real draw is the chemistry between characters as they navigate Buddy's rather unconventional journey to fatherhood.
