Review of Ricky

Ricky (I) (2009)
Surprised My Kids Were Fascinated
27 August 2011
Warning: Spoilers
The premise intrigued me, and I started watching this movie on Netflix streaming. My 7 and 9 year old kids wandered in and became fascinated. What's not to love about a flying baby? They also liked a diaper changing scene, a breast-feeding scene, and some nude shots. However, there were some disappointing lapses in plausibility pointed out by another reviewer. My kids accepted wings on a baby's back but we couldn't figure out why the parents would let him get away. The movie is reaching for some meaning in the baby's flight away from a struggling single mother, but other than a vague feeling of sadness, the viewer isn't left with much to make sense of the final turn of events.
