This excessively talky fictionalized documentary from director Henry Jaglom follows in the same vein as his Eating in 1991, only this time the topic is babies. The program is exhausting, using a rightfully bare plot as an excuse for an endless discussion on the issue of motherhood. The subject of giving birth is rarely investigated in films, considering how often it happens and what an impact it has on the human experience. However, Babyfever hardly offers a well-rounded debate on the position of American women and their relationship to their wombs. This one-sided party film gathers Jaglom's typical ensemble cast of wealthy neurotics, this time obsessed with their biological clocks interfering with their high-powered careers. Historically, this film is an important document as an example of the personal-is-political kind of material. There is certainly merit in focusing on the experience of contemporary women as members of the public work force as well as at-home breeders. Unfortunately, this rambling movie could have been more interesting if the subjects were from a broader background, representing more than just stereotypical responses.
