One day, I'd like to see a movie where the crazy baby-snatcher gets away with it. An interesting premise, marred by weak pacing and an astonishingly wooden performance from Ryan S. Williams.

krazygirl_0512 August 2022You know good and well that's a black baby in that crib. Who was in charge of casting? We had to rewind and pause because we couldn't believe what we just saw. I almost thought there was gonna be a twist and Tupac-looking cop was gonna be the daddy. Y'all need to watch this for the ending.

lavatch29 February 2020"My Baby Is Gone!" is a predictable "thriller" with a diabolical creature who conceives a plan for baby snatching.
Kelly lost her own baby, as well as her uterus, and blamed it all on Emily, whose miscarriage apparently distracted the medical staff from her own case during her hospital stay. Now, Kelly has conceived the perfect crime to move into the neighborhood of Peter and Emily, cozy up to them, plan to deliver Kelly's baby in the middle of a forest, then kill and bury Emily.
It was most unconvincing that Kelly could drive a wedge between Emily and her bestie, Susan, as well as to separate Emily from her doting husband Peter. The film became comical in the places with Kelly's bloated belly was clearly fake to the audience, yet not to the characters. Kelly and Emily claimed to be "belly buddies." But neither pregnancy looked realistic.
The most unconvincing scene of all was the speedy birthing of little Julian, wherein Emily gives a single, effortless push, and out pops Julian! At least, the filmmakers showed a modicum of integrity by not claiming that this far-fetched potboiler was based on a true story!!! -
zwarmstrong31 October 2018Cringe worthy dialogue, plot twists telegraphed miles ahead, and poor performances from every actor. This movie will have you asking, "wasn't there supposed to be an "is" in the title?"

hoops-5343611 June 2021What a waste of a fine talent like Elisabeth Harnois. She is a wonderful actress but this script and plot puts her in the lowest of LMN female personalities: "Oh, although I hardly know you, I trust you completely because you say you are my friend. I trust you more than I trust my best friend, my husband, and my doctors. I will even get people killed due to my gullibility!" OH, COME ON!!

CranberriAppl4 November 2021Villain motivations are so weak on Lifetime. Given the circumstances, how in the world would Kelly have found out Emily was the patient that (she believes) was chosen over her? That unnecessarily complicates the storyline. Her character was on eleven, and her whole personality would have had me on edge.
There are better versions of this theme. The baby movies tend to annoy me the most because it's just so hard to believe that Lifetime believes that so many first time mothers and fathers are so trusting of strangers. Particularly when they choose the strangers over their friends, and of course it always costs the friend/s their lives before the lead character buys a clue. -
lisafordeay28 February 2024My Baby Gone is a 2017 thriller about a woman named Emily, who is seven months pregnant and is living with her husband Peter. She later becomes friends with her new neighbor named Kelly, who coincidentally is also pregnant.
Both Kelly and her seem to have a lot in common as they are looking forward to the arrival of their new babies. However what Emi doesn't know is that Kelly is really Bridget and she has been faking her pregnancy by wearing a fake prosthetic belly in order to get close to Emily so she can steal her baby and pass it off as her own.
Overall it was a very silly thriller what has been done to death.

Kristamw25 August 2018This is a good strong suspense where you are wondering why Kelly, the wacko woman who has just killed the neighbor who lives across from pregnant Emily, kills the neighbor. It is clear that she has her sights set on Emily. They are both pregnant, and Emily instantly takes to Kelly's hospitality. What isn't clear is why Kelly is so focused on Emily. That mystery is what makes this story line particularly engaging. Emily and her husband have already endured the heartbreak of a full month term stillborn pregnancy, so even though she is nearing the end of her final trimester, Emily continues to hold doubts and fears about the viability of this new baby. Kelly seamlessly steps in to offer consolation. But Emily's close friend Susan wonders at the swift intimate friendship. Too bad no one has a clue what Kelly is really up to. The title doesn't make sense as Emily's baby is never 'gone' or taken, so a more appropriate title would have made better sense. Once we get to the reveal, the answers are shocking. The motive is well explained. The one problem I had, though, was how Kelly hurried us through her reasons, spelling them out in a way that felt too on the nose. What would have been better would be a playing out of some scenes to show us, but overall, an enjoyable thrill ride.

Stupid story! Overly far-fetched! Basically Emily fully trusts a total stranger over her best friend and her husband! And indirectly gets her best friendckilked among a few others! By the way this the second movie where the psycho villianess fakes pregnancy to snatch a baby. Anna Van Hooft played a psycho in Till Ex Do Us Part (2018). Basically I can't stand her! Ps I love Nicole LaPlaca!
