Man vs Baby review – Rowan Atkinson's festive slapstick is the most trite Christmas show possible

[Aggressive Alpaca]

omg i know right?! Rowan Atkinson is defo good but man vs baby is just so boring . they try to make it all sappy and heartwarming but its like, hello no thanks . the plot twists are literally so convoluted and the product placement is SO on the nose . i mean what's next a episode with nandos? anywayz the deus ex machina thingy is just so lame , cant they come up with somethin better?

I'm really disappointed with 'Man vs Baby', it just doesn't deliver the same magic as its predecessor 'Man vs Bee'. The festive setting is a nice touch, but it's overpowered by the trite and overly sentimental Christmascore clichés . I mean, can't they think outside the box for once? Rowan Atkinson is still his usual lovable self as Bingley, but it's just not enough to save this show from its overall lack of depth and originality. The plot twists are more like a cop-out than a clever surprise . Overall, I'd say 'Man vs Baby' is a bit of a letdown, especially considering the high standards set by its predecessor .

I was really looking forward to this one, but it just didn't click for me . The whole setup with the baby being mysterious and Bingley trying to care for it was kinda cool at first, but then it just felt like a bunch of holiday clichés: snowy streets, awkward gift exchanges, the whole shebang . And don't even get me started on how they crammed in all those Cadbury's product placements ... it was like the writers were trying to make as much cash as possible instead of focusing on a good story.

The plot twists were also super predictable and felt like they came out of nowhere . And that ending? Forget about it . It just felt like a cop-out, you know? I mean, I love Rowan Atkinson's character as much as the next guy, but even he couldn't save this show from itself .

I guess what really disappointed me was how close it came to being something genuinely funny and emotional, but then it all fell apart . It felt like a missed opportunity, you know? Anyway, if you're looking for some good holiday laughs, I'd say stick with the original Man vs Bee .

I just watched 'Man vs Baby' and I gotta say, it was a total letdown . The jokes were funny at first but after a while they just got old. I mean, who comes up with this stuff? Rowan Atkinson is always good as Bingley, but even he couldn't make me care about the story too much. It felt like a bunch of clichés strung together - the 'plucky underdog' thing, the 'government bureaucracy is so annoying' thing... you know, all that Christmas-y stuff . And don't even get me started on the Cadbury's Heroes product placement . It just feels like they're trying to make a quick buck off of us viewers. Anyway, I was really looking forward to this one but it just didn't deliver. Maybe next year?

 

[Relentless]

I mean, come on... another Christmas comedy that's just rehashing the same old tired ideas . I loved Man vs Bee, it was like a breath of fresh air . But this one just feels like they're phoning it in. Rowan Atkinson is still his usual lovable buffoon self, but it's not enough to carry this show through . And don't even get me started on the product placement - it's like they're more interested in shilling Cadbury's than actually telling a good story . I mean, what happened to some originality? The plot twists were just silly and didn't make any sense . And that ending... ugh . Just disappointed, you know?

idk why ppl r being so harsh on Rowan Atkinson he still brings his A-game as Bingley but i think the show's trying 2 hard 2 be funny instead of just embracing its awkwardness like, let's face it, it's a Christmas comedy, what did we expect? and yeah, maybe the plot twists r a bit much, but that's part of the charm, right?
