Babysplitters
Jeff (Pudi) and Sarah (Chang) can't seem to find a compromise when it comes to having a child. Jeff fears that having a baby will commit him to his dead-end job, while Sarah wants to conceive before her biological clock ticks too much further along. Their friends Don (Alfano) and Taylor (Walsh) have a similar problem, with Taylor against childbearing for the sake of her dancing career, while Don runs a successful fitness business and is ready to be a dad. The four friends come up with the idea to conceive and split baby-raising duties between them, which seems like a great idea until their expectations prove wholly dissimilar from reality.
Director: Sam Friedlander. Stars: Danny Pudi, Emily Chang, Maiara Walsh, Eddie Alfano, Ben Goldsmith, Mark Dohner. 2019. 119 mins. Comedy.
