Joon-su is a spoiled, arrogant high school student with wealthy parents; an only child who specializes in starting fights, mouthing off to teachers, and getting suspended from school. More rebel than criminal, his aberrant behavior still comes home to roost one night in a grocery store, when he turns long enough to select a bottle of wine off a shelf - and turns back to find a baby has been left in his shopping cart, along with a note saying he's the father and the boy is his responsibility now. Worse yet, Joon-su returns home to find his parents have run away (!) thanks to his rotten behavior, cutting off his credit card and all communication. With the help of his buddies, and a new girl to school who is smitten with him, Joon-su first tries to find the mother ... then a way to ditch the baby ... before ultimately becoming determined to be the best dad he can be. Sweet and funny, Baby and I (aka Baby and Me) is a wonderful film nowhere near as predictable as you'd think. And I dare you not to fall in love with that kid. (not rated) A-
BABY AND ME trailer
This sounds not at all my type of film, but then I remembered that it is an Asian film and they do this stuff so much better than the West - so may well check it out! An A- indeed? :)
