Robert Abele Los Angeles Times 11/08/2012
4/5
What lifts Gayby above its sitcom trappings is its emotional generosity and easy warmth, the sense that characters are defined by -- and made funny through -- their aspirations, not their way with a one-liner. Go to Full Review Monica Castillo Paste Magazine 10/26/2012
6.9/10
The good in Gayby easily outweighs the awkward staging and strained gags. Go to Full Review Sara Stewart New York Post 10/12/2012

Harris, a talented comic actress who looks more like a real person than a Hollywood facsimile of one, makes every scene she's in shine. Go to Full Review Michael Cuby them. 09/30/2022

06/01/2020 It was cute, but kinda boring and very stereotypical. I liked that the main character(s) were pretty relatable and human, though. See more 07/02/2018 A sweet and fun little movie!! See more 02/14/2016 Way funnier than I thought it was going to be. I love the main actress in it. She was hilarious! See more 01/15/2016 I adored this little movie. See more 10/04/2015 A funny film about a gay man and his friend who decide to have a baby. The supporting characters are also a hoot See more 05/07/2015 Gayby was one heck of a comedy. Just the premise alone, a women wanting to have a kid with her gay best friend, is comical enough. Throw in a funny supporting cast and some hilarious scenes and you have an above average comedy. Some of the scenes were a little bland but there were plenty of laughs throughout and by the heart warming ending it made for a good movie. This one may not be on your Netflix radar but if you want a different, funny topic that a movie is based around, this one should satisfy your funny bone. See more Read all reviews
