What To Expect When You're Expecting was not only funny with a star-studded cast, but also honest. It's a film about a collection of relationships; one couple is adopting, another have been trying to conceive, and for others it was unexpected. The film is as up and down as I'm sure pregnancy is. A very touching set of stories, and a hilarious, masculine outlook on the idea of parenting.
The cast was very impressive with the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, Elizabeth Banks, Chace Crawford, Brooklyn Decker, Anna Kendrick, Matthew Morrison, Dennis Quaid, Chris Rock, Rodrigo Santoro, and more. Elizabeth Banks and Jennifer Lopez deliver competitive performances exploring the emotional journey of pregnancy versus adoption. These two were the most moving for me.
Anna Kendrick was a surprise. It is apparent that she is very talented, and really knows how to charm her audience. We will see many more great things from her.
I felt Rebel Wilson was a bit unnecessary. Friends with Elizabeth Banks' character, Wilson plays a southern girl, not too intelligent, but supportive of her friend. I found her a bit unnecessary. She is like a female Chris Farley, only good for a certain brand of humor.
My favorite group of people in this film, were The Dudes. Four Dads with babies strapped to them while they walk through the park together, pushing strollers. Their outlook on their marriages and parenting are funny, quirky, and honest. They all had one thing in common, they all aim to be great fathers.
Bring tissue for this one! There will be tears of sadness and joy!
