If you’re into Michael McCullers
Director and writer of “Baby Mama”, try “Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me”, starring Heather Graham as the love interest and Mike Myers as pretty much everyone else. It’s 1999 when we meet our hero, Austin Powers, international man of mystery, but we quickly revert back to the swinging sixties when Austin must travel back in time to prevent Dr. Evil from stealing his mojo. For without his all-powerful libido, Powers is, well, powerless. Along the way he meets smokin’ secret agent Felicity Shagwell, who prances around in knee high boots and sexy go-go outfits while mentioning sleeping with men as “just part of her job”. And yes, this is the one with Dr. Evil’s mini-me. The second movie in the epic Austin Powers saga, this film is “groovy baby, yeah!”
If you’re into Greg Kinnear’s killer grin
Try “Sabrina”, the 1995 remake of the 1954 classic also starring Julia Ormond and Harrison Ford. Sabrina Fairchild (Ormond) is the mousy daughter of the chauffeur to the Larabees, a grand Long Island family. She fruitlessly pines for the attentions of their dashing son, David Larabee, but is soon sent off to Paris to learn photography and forget all about him. However, when she comes back with a new coif and chic duds, David falls head over heels for her. The only glitch is that he already has a very eligible fiancée. Enter Linus Larabee (Ford), David’s responsible and business minded older brother who plans to steer Sabrina’s affections away from David, but ends up falling in love with her himself. The film captures all the delight of the Cinderella story while adding the prince’s older brother into the mix creating one of the most titillating love triangles in fairy tale history.
If you’re into Baby Movies
Try “Bringing Up Baby” starring Cary Grant and Katherine Hepburn in her most charming role. Of course the baby in this case is not an actual baby but a leopard that plays a crucial role in the frantic and hilarious plot of this classic film. Susan (Hepburn) is “inexplicably” drawn to paleontologist Dr. David Huxley (whose thick glasses do nothing to hide Grant’s infamous sex appeal). His nerdy disposition of course makes him absolutely averse to Susan’s desperate attentions, but when he some how gets carted away with her to Connecticut to return her Aunt’s leopard, the two are forced into situations after which neither one will be the same. With episodes that range from a disgruntled terrier hiding David’s priceless dinosaur bone, to ridiculous Connecticut Aunts, to what just might be true love, this is one of those original romantic comedies that make the whole genre worthwhile.
