They have to drive a baby or the driver is a baby?


So confusing. Anyone else?

Ah ha. I was thinking it was supposed to be something like Baby Geniuses.

Multiple stuff going on here.
There is a slang term:
Baby driving is the act of steering the wheel from side-to-side very quickly, creating a side-to-side jerking motion of the vehicle. Called so because that is how babies drive when they are given a toy steering weel.
(Urban dictionary helped explaining)

+ The driver in the movie called Baby
+ He is a young guy with a babyface

The protagonist is a getaway driver called Baby. B A B Y Baby.
Also, it's the tittle of a Simon and Garfunkle tune that plays during the closing credits.

I walked out of the theaters and demanded my money back. I was duped! I expected to see a light heart comedy where a baby becomes a driver and hijinx ensue. I told that to the theater manager and after he gave me my money back, I spit in his face and told him to get a real job when he grows up!

I had a similar experience. Granted, I was livid (and possibly drunk) enough at the time to jump onto the concessions counter and give what I considered to be an impromptu speech designed to rouse my moviegoer brothers and sisters into an uprising. Sadly, this was not to be when an usher tackled me into the popcorn machine, resulting in multiple second degree burns for him and a bruised tail bone for yours truly. The manager gave me a few movie passes to smooth over the situation, and I am happy to report that Boss Baby is more or less the film I was expecting Baby Driver to be. I probably could have gotten more out of it had I spit in the manager's face like you, Mint Berry. Next time, friend.
