Best movie of this year hands down!

One of my all time favorites.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

I genuinely enjoyed What to Expect When You're Expecting and found it to be quite hilarious. The jokes were well timed and it seemed to be outrageously truthful in places and bullsh!t in others. They tried to depict multiple experiences with pregnancy from the very difficult to the "oh it was a breeze". Nobody's perfect yet everyone feels the need to have the perfect experience.I only wish they had explored each character in more detail. They all seemed very shallow below the surface as there were too many individual story lines. You didn't get to see the whole journey for anyone so it left me wanting more.By far the best part of the whole movie was seeing the dad's group hang out. Why does this not happen more often in real life. It's not only a brilliant support system but I'm sure it would be hilarious. Chris Rock stole the scenes for me. The man knows how to be funny.I will definitely give this one a second viewing and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an inappropriate laugh.

would have given this a zero if I could..i tuned this one with my girlfriend and omg the acting was horrible and what has happened to Cameron diaz's face omg she looked awful btw her character was awful. JLo was her usual awful self outside of that George Clooney movie she made she is awful in everything. After we slaved to watch this concoction of awful with acting found in better high school plays we decided to stop watching this dreck 45 minutes in because I was afraid of being charged with a crime of crimes against humanity watching this movie. Have no idea how movie ends but I just do not care because from what I saw all the people involved should be doing time for stealing the money of those who paid to watch this and paying others for the time wasted watching this.

The movie tells the story of five couples who are all expecting. Even though the storyline was okay, the combination of the five stories together wasn't that good. Firstly, there was no interest in any of them. They were promising, well, some of them at least, but they ended up being boring. Then, the performances were average, although there were many big names included in the cast. In addition the script wasn't as funny as it should have been, but I haven't read the book, so I don't know if the script was based on it or if the book is better. Finally, the way the stories were linked to each other was interesting and enjoyable, but it was the only thing that I liked about it. So 2 out of 10.

This movie is my favorite feel-good flick and 9 out of 10 times it's my go to for an easy late night comedy. That isn't to say it is a gut- busting laugh-fest but it EASILY ranks higher than a chuckle. Even though I can almost quote every line I still smile in expectation for the scenes and moments that continue to crack me up. It has been unfairly reviewed by others who describe it as sophomoric and shallow. While the movie maintains a sense of levity throughout it is not lacking in emotion and empathy. If you want something to help you get rid of a box of Kleenexes try "The Notebook." "What to Expect" treats it's scenes of tenderness with respect (which I appreciated) but won't make you ball your eyes out.Other ridiculous criticisms target the development of the characters and their portrayal of parental roles. As in many comedies, the characters of "What to Expect" are more closely related to an archetype than actual people. That being said, I didn't find it difficult to identify and empathize with each character as the movie progressed. Their emotions and development are hyperbolic but still believable for what this movie is - a comedy! As a pregnant woman I can easily relate to what seems (to some!) an exaggeration. This movie is sweet, funny, and easy to watch. Not to mention that it actually DOES pack a lot of useful information regarding pregnancy without seeming like a health class video. It won't make you pee yourself laughing or cry yourself to sleep or enlighten you but it should make you happy as it does for me every time I watch it. Abandon your cynicism for a moment and enjoy a cute couch-film.
