I Love You, Baby is a 2000 German action thriller film directed by Nick Lyon with Jasmin Gerat, Mark Keller, Maximilian Schell and Burkhard Driest in the lead.
The film revolves around two con partners named Peter and Gwen who plan to steal money from the millionaire Walter Ekland by posing Peter as his long lost son and Gwen as Peter's wife who is undergoing treatment for cancer. Their plan gets in jeopardy when a detective named Decker, who knows their identities, decides to get a share of the money.
I Love You, Baby was met with mixed reviews. Cineclub stated that "Nick Lyon has chosen a good path for the implementation of this thriller: In loosely cut, sunny pictures, he presents a story that switch between eroticism, tragedy and Thriller and hergleitet without ever digressing." Some appreciated the picturesque locales and the screenplay. However, Schnitt gave it a negative review, calling it as a low grade television movie with numerous wide shots that actually kills the cinema audience.
