What to Expect When You're Expecting review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 09/21/12
Not sure about the fad of bringing in popular celebrities to be on a film, which in this critics mind must have emanated from Love Actually. A story of 5 couples, 4 of which who had a baby. Holly (Jennifer Lopez) plans of adopting, Jules (Cameron Diaz) hosts a weight-loss fitness show, Rosie (Anna Kendrick) experiences problems, Wendy (Elizabeth Banks) runs a boutique, and Skyler (Brooklyn Decker) will have twins. Realism of the premise was somewhat accurate since this reviewer has a kid of his own, through on the picture some were just exaggerated. Lacks better character development because of the loaded cast and impossible how everybody got pregnant and connected in some way. Quaids character was too superficial and irritating. Interesting lines - "Making a human being is really hard. I have no control over my body or my emotions." from Wendy and "Now I know I'm really happy..You don't know love until you wiped someone's ass." from Vic Mac (Chris Rock) Perfect for expectant mothers, those who want to relieve their kids child birth and just those who dig babies. What to Expect When You're Expecting's execution as a film though could have been funnier and interesting if the direction/screenplay were better. At least this was better than disaster's such as New Years Eve and Valentine's Day.
