Nobody\'s Baby combines the kidnapping high jinks of Raising Arizona with the sheer goofiness of Dumb and Dumber. Billy (Skeet Ulrich) and Buford (Gary Oldman, channeling Michael Jeter with scraggly hair and moustache), like characters in the crazed comedies of the Brothers Coen and Farrelly, are as kindhearted as they are softheaded. The two grew up in the same orphanage and have been like brothers ever since. Due more to stupidity than malicious intent, most of their adult lives have been spent behind bars. After a lucky escape from a paddy wagon (just as they\'re about to be sent to separate prisons), Billy witnesses a car crash and rescues the sole survivor--a baby. He decides to keep it. Buford would prefer to exchange the tyke for ransom money, but fate has other plans in this black comedy that works best as drama, but is less effective when reaching for laughs. --Kathleen C. Fennessy
