Comedy-drama based on the non-fiction pregnancy guide of the same name, focusing on the lives of five couples and their initiation into parenthood. All-star cast includes Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Chris Rock and Anna Kendrick.
TV fitness guru Jules (Diaz) and dance show star Evan (Matthew Marrison) find that their high-octane celebrity lives don't stand a chance against the demands of pregnancy. Baby-crazy author and advocate Wendy (Elizabeth Banks) gets a taste of her own militant mommy advice; while her husband (Ben Falcone) struggles not to be outdone by his competitive alpha-Dad, who's expecting twins with his trophy wife (Brooklyn Decker).
Photographer Holly (Lopez) is prepared to travel the globe to adopt a child, but her husband Alex (Rodrigo Santoro) isn't and tries to quiet his panic by attending a "dudes" support group. While rival food truck chefs Rosie (Kendrick) and Marco's (Chace Crawford) surprise hook-up results in an unexpected quandary: what to do when your first child comes before your first date?
Its overview of the baby experience is obscured by a family-values lens – no single/same-sex parents - resulting in an awful ensemble comedy to complete that "Valentine's Day" / "New Year's Eve" box-set, complete with sexist clichés.
Full reviewIf What to Expect represents the best tearjerking laugh-machine that Hollywood can birth, it's probably time to get those story ideas implanted in vitro.
Full reviewThe awfulness of What to Expect When You're Expecting, an ugly brew of guide book, reality television and romantic comedy, is of course, entirely to be expected.

The overall mood is of warm reassurance, and some of it is even pretty funny.

Someday Hollywood will think of women as more than fallopian tubes in heels; until then, we're stuck with this kind of project.

A cheerful comedy with just enough dark moments to create the illusion it's really about something.

It’s Valentine’s Day with more babies and fewer attractive people. Neither a date movie (run for the hills, boys!), nor a chick flick (who wants to know the icky bits?), its intended appeal is a poser. Heavily pregnant people and those with newborns don’t get out much, do they?
