Member Rating:  
A small town's secrets prove deeper and more mysterious than they initially seemed in A Good Baby. Toker (played by Henry Thomas) is a young man living in a small North Carolina community, where he prefers to keep to himself. One day, while taking a walk in the woods, Toker finds a baby, and ventures into town to find out to whom it belongs. However, no one seems to know who the child's parents are, and no one will claim it as their own. Toker soon draws the attention of an attractive woman named Roby (Cara Seymour), who is interested in him, but will have nothing to do with the baby. Toker, however, has grown to love the child and does not want to turn it away. The arrival of a mysterious salesman (David Strathairn) eventually leads to the discovery of the child's true parentage. The directorial debut for Katherine Dieckmann, A Good Baby was screened at the 1999 Los Angeles Independent Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    This is a great movie, in part, due to the terrific acting done by David Straitharn, and the main character (not the baby) who is faced with finding a baby in the woods. All performers did great jobs and though the movie is a bit different, it is well worth the time. I can't say much more without giving it all away, so you'll just have to try it yourself. It may not be everyone's cup of tea.

    This movie was just okay. I thought the story was a little slow in telling what was going on between the guy and the baby. This must be the most boring town in the world, everyone looked like they were ready to fall asleep at any time.
