What happens

Maybe Baby (released in the Philippines as Sex Bomb) is a 2000 British comedy film starring Hugh Laurie and Joely Richardson. It marks the second time Laurie and Richardson have starred in the same film; the first was 101 Dalmatians (although in that film they shared no scenes). It was written and directed by Ben Elton, with Laurie directing some scenes in an uncredited role, and based upon Elton's 1999 novel, Inconceivable. Receiving a mixed critical reaction, the film did poorly at the box office, despite a cast including many of the best-known names within comedy in Britain. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
