Was passiert, wenn's passiert ist

Well... don't expect much. The plot is thin, predictable and the movie is simply not funny. My girlfriend roped me in -- so I went. The cast was likable... but everything else about the movie I couldn't bear. That said, this is a sure fire girl film that your lady love... especially if she has baby on her mind. The cast is very easy on the eyes.. especially the gorgeous Brooklyn Decker who is certainly bound to a be a big star. Jennifer Lopez was not very good or funny. My favorite characters in the film were Chris Rock and Anna Kendrick who are always funny and spot on in their roles. Great date film... but GUYS, beware -- you are in for a tedious night.

Honestly, the reason for seeing this movie was nothing more and nothing less than the desire to go to the cinema with a friend. With some other movies not interesting her, it was between The Lucky Ones and this one, both movies that have a low score on IMDb. I was pleasantly surprised, however, with not just the actors in the movie but also with the dialogue and chemistry on screen, which seemed very natural. I definitely enjoyed watching it and will most likely end up buying it on DVD; not even the fact that Chris Rock was in it bothered me, whereas I usually can't stand him. I have to applaud Jennifer Lopez too, I never thought much of her as an actress, but I found myself sympathizing with her and liking her portrayal of the character. Over all, I find that this movie deserves a higher score than it's currently got on IMDb.

This film is about several couples who are expecting babies. They run into various troubles and emotional rollercoasters while preparing themselves for parenthood.

"What to Expect When You're Expecting" is a lighthearted comedy that makes you laugh, just like what is advertised. Of course, the way to parenthood is not just happy and joyful, so the film also realistically portrays the unglamorous side of expecting mothers. Some of these are presented as crude toilet humour, while others are presented as emotional rollercoasters that will touch your heart. I like the fact that characters in "What to Expect When You're Expecting" do not have a smooth breezy path, but face adversity like in real life. It is an interesting comedy for expecting mothers.

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.

Good thing I Like Cheesy Chick-flicks....but if your are not a chick-flick person DO NOT WATCH THIS!!!....But on the other hand if you do...this movie is cute, funny and has many great actors and actresses that i really like...The Dude Group is Hilarious...If you have Kids you will relate to many of the things that happens in here...It's all about Baby Delivery and everything that come's with it....OBVIOUSLY the Title says it all.

For the Moms... this movie is funny..I guarantee you will relate to at least one couple in this film.

for mom's to be... This movie is nice to watch and wont traumatize you in anyway.

BTW...Joe Manganiello is shirtless in many of the scenes in this film...YAY!!!
