Tout lireSarah and Ryan were a great couple. They had their fun together, but the man's fear of commitment pushed the woman away. Yet the situation between them isn't over because Sarah is pregnant and she's trying to find ways to hide this news from Ryan and everyone else - except her best friend, who probably won't be of much help in this matter.

A bit labored but has it's good moments, too

Sarah (Kyra Sedgwick) and Ryan (Rob Morrow) have broken things off after a long relationship. However, Sarah is pregnant and makes the decision not to tell Ryan. At the moment Sarah goes in to labor, her parents rush to her side and someone knowingly informs Ryan. When Ryan dashes into the fray, humor and discord come along. What kind of situation is Baby X coming into? Sedgwick and Morrow are touching and ticklish in their roles as parents to be. Mary Tyler Moore and Robert Klein, as Sedgwick's parents, alternate between amusing and exasperating. The script has oodles of possibilities but just can't quite gel into a winning result. Nevertheless, for those who love romantic comedies with mayhem, this film is an non-painful and diverting way to spend a rainy afternoon.

The worst movie I ever saw.

I rented Labor Pains see if it was good. This is not worth buying or renting. It a waste of money to see the film. The actors are good but not the story. It lacked all over. Do yourself a favor see Nine Months than this movie.

Great Comedy Suffers Under Bad Directing

I was pleasantly surprised by this comedy. It was well written; in fact much of the dialogue reminded me of Michael Frayn (Noises Off!). There was potential for that rapid-fire repartee going back and forth between two or more characters. Also, the actors were well cast and terrific. I'd say that actors of this. caliber were either working for scale wages or else, the lion's share of the budget went to on-screen talent. The place where this film suffered a crushing blow was the direction. It was written and directed by Tracy Alexson. I think Tracy has a brighter future in writing than in direction. Entire scenes seemed to sag under a lack of direction. If you watch, don't expect a neat and tight comedy. Instead, expect some good dialogue, good acting and a comedy that misses its potential.
