Baby Love

There's a certain style of movie that the French do really well. Trendy urbanites, usually in Paris, gently but firmly confronting social issues, with a little comedy thrown in. The French also tend to name their movies terribly, at least in the English translation, and on both counts Baby Love is about the norm.

The story is framed by the legal prohibition on homosexuals adopting in France, but the bulk of the story revolves around the relationships of the characters and only briefly skirts the social issue. But the characters are charming and likable, the acting is good, the directing and score are fine. Not the best movie ever, but worth watching.
