Review of The Babymaker: The Dr. Cecil Jacobson Story

I was sorry to see my one of my much-loved favourite actresses, Melissa Gilbert, starring in trollop of this nature ! Apparently she is seeking to have a baby, goes to see a specialist on the advice of a friend, a specialist who promises artificial insemination. Well, the baby is born and our friend Gilbert is quite happy with her new son when suddenly there is some doubt raised about the identity of the sperm donor - indeed it may well be the Doctor Cecil Jacobson himself !! This all results in a lawsuit !! Sounds typically American to me this lawsuit business ! So what, who really cares one iota who the doner of the sperm is, the main thing is that Melissa Gilbert has her long desired child ! I cannot see where the harm done is and quite frankly consider this film to be pointless in whatever message it purports to deliver. I can only imagine that you have to have been born or brought up in the USA to sympathise with the protagonists !
