The Babymakers Gets A Red Band Trailer

THE BABYMAKERS is the latest directorial outing for Jay Chandrasekhar and it’s just got itself a Red Band trailer. Most will know Chandrasekhar as being part of the comedy troupe Broken Lizard, the guys responsible for PUDDLE CRUISER (1996), SUPER TROOPERS (2001), CLUB DREAD (2004), BEERFEST (2006), and THE SLAMMIN’ SALMON (2009). All but the latter were directed by Chandrasekhar. He also has a very respectable number of TV shows under his belt, having done episodes of CHUCK, ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, and COMMUNITY.

THE BABYMAKERS sees Paul Schneider and Olivia Munn attempting to have a baby. After many unsuccessful attempts they discover that Schneider has slow sperm. He decides to rob a sperm bank to get back his own sperm which he donated years previously, when his sperm weren’t so slow.

The basic premise sounds good, with a heist movie not just focused on the money or the thrill of the crime. However I do sense an over reliance on jokes concerning masturbation, semen, and so forth. I’m a huge fan of Broken Lizard and almost everything Chandrasekhar has been involved in has made me laugh a lot. I have a feeling this could go either way, but I’m hoping for the best.

THE BABYMAKERS is directed by Jay Chandrasekhar and stars Paul Schneider, Olivia Munn, Nat Faxon, Wood Harris, Jay Chandrasekhar and Kevin Heffernan. It has a limited release scheduled for 3rd August in the US but nothing else has been announced as of yet.
