Athena (Angela Vint) and Lilith (Megan Fahlenbock) want a baby. And in this day and age, who needs a man? Or even a sperm donation.

The couple enlist the services of a science lab to make sperm from their own stem cells. Spoofing the rigidity of science and the anything-goes world of gay conception, The Baby Formula follows the couple as they struggle to tell their families about their immaculate conception. Add to the mix lesbian power struggles (carried out to ridiculous lengths), Athena’s super Irish Catholic mom who is appalled by the news, a Scottish octogenarian great-grand- mother to be, Lilith’s two gay dads (both struggling with notions of staying on the wagon for their impending granddaughters) and one super-nerdy scientist prone to proclamations such as ‘People say we’re making men obsolete. That’s not true. We’re simply making them unnecessary.’

When all’s said and done, you get a funny, heart-warming, clever, and provocative movie. Plus, the hilarious rendition of ‘My Humps’ send-up at the end will keep you laughing in your seats.
