Nobody's Baby (2001)

Nobody's Baby combines the kidnapping high jinks of Raising Arizona with the sheer goofiness of Dumb and Dumber. Billy (Skeet Ulrich) and Buford (Gary Oldman, channeling Michael Jeter with scraggly hair and moustache), like characters in the crazed comedies of the Brothers Coen and Farrelly, are as kindhearted as they are softheaded. The two grew up in the same orphanage and have been like brothers ever since. Due more to stupidity than malicious intent, most of their adult lives have been spent behind bars. After a lucky escape from a paddy wagon (just as they're about to be sent to separate prisons), Billy witnesses a car crash and rescues the sole survivor--a baby. He decides to keep it. Buford would prefer to exchange the tyke for ransom money, but fate has other plans in this black comedy that works best as drama, but is less effective when reaching for laughs. --Kathleen C.

A heart warming

A story about family and how they sometimes form in unusual ways. Skeet Ulrich plays an escaped convict who rescues a baby from a car wreck and who then decides to keep it. He soon learns about feedings and about changing diapers, but keeping this baby will be more complicated than that. March 5, 2008

Deserves Better

Oldman is over the top as usual, and the other cast members are outstanding in this funny and touching story. But what is with the pan and scan? A movie this great deserves widescreen DVD treatment. June 19, 2005

Very Funny Movie

This movie is a hidden gem. It is very funny and shows a side of Skeet Ulrich that is wonderful. He is very good in this role as a "rather dim witted, lovable character." All of the actors do a great job. March 31, 2005
