    So I looked around the semi-crowded theatre halfway through What to Expect When You're Expecting. It was Tuesday night in the beaches, so cheap movie day!!!! As I looked around, I counted how many guys were dragged into this movie by their significant other, and from this number,... read more I began to think about how many of these guys are in that stage of their relationship where talk of having babies has become one of the more front and centre topics of discussion. Once the credits rolled, I knew that even if those guys weren't having this discussion before, they damn sure will be now on the drive home.
    I can't imagine too many teens running to the multiplexes to see this one. This is solely for the ladies in their late twenties to early forties who are either thinking of becoming mothers or already are ones and are using this movie as a way of looking back on their pregnancy days to laugh about them. So clearly I was not the target audience here, and I don't think I have the authority to accurately critique such a film. But here I go anyway.
    What to Expect When You're Expecting seems to be a product from all the pregnancy books and manuals out there (it's based on one such book). The writers and makeup artists have definitely done their research, not only in accurately depicting the pregnancy bulge, the raging hormones, and the desire for both women and men to want children, but they've created a whole ensemble cast of characters that are all going through different kinds of personal trials. We have the teens who accidentally get pregnant, we have the groups of fathers who are charged with taking care of the kids, we have the infertile 30 something who is looking to adopt, and we have different women experiencing different kinds of pregnancy pains. Within all that, we are supposed to laugh at the jokes, the sometimes witty lines, ooo and aww at the cute moments, and then the babies are born. Lesson to learn: pregnancy is hell but it's all worth it once the baby is born.
    This movie didn't offend me. It wasn't stupid, and some of the jokes were actually quite funny. But I think the over-saturation of characters and the "aw gush" ending still couldn't make me connect with it. Maybe it's because this movie wasn't made for me. But then I remember how much I loved Juno and Knocked Up and how much more satisfying those movies were....

    it was typical, and generic. Clumping a bunch of celeberties together in a not very good movie and expecting to make a buck off of it. Jennifer Lopez was terrible in the film. The film goes back and forth between serveral couples having babies. It just wan't very good. I don't kn... read moreow what I was expecing from the film but I didn't get it. Two stars is a stretch.

    It's an okay mother's day movie. Anything with Jennifer Lopez in it is just weak...but elizabeth banks was pretty good.

    It is okay and there is a few laugh. I may be a good movie for those who don't know what to expect out of pregnancy. This is the movie. Almost like Back Up Plan.

    Starts off slow with mediocre jokes...a few are laugh out loud. There are two characters that are consistently hilarious. The movie is best in the last half hour. In theatres Friday, May 18th.

    Don't expect much from this film. Glad to see Mr. Shue from Glee is branching out. Most likely appeals to women more than men. The movie seemed all over the place intertwining stories when I would have preferred to see just one. The Dude's club had potential to be funny but wasn't.
