A chirpy, good-natured pregnancy comedy from New Zealand, Baby Done is carried by a no-nonsense performance from standup comedian Rose Matafeo. She plays Zoe, a professional tree surgeon who is completely unprepared for her unplanned pregnancy. While her partner, Tim (Harry Potter alumnus Matthew Lewis), embraces the idea of parenthood, Zoe frets over the unfinished adventures on her to-do list.
Tinder-dry delivery bolsters the film’s gentle humour, and while the momentum sags a little in the second half, the natural chemistry between Matafeo and Lewis keeps the audience invested and the story relatable.
