It's a traditional comedy movie. It demonstrates a very big lie and nobody finds out. In other words, if you watch it, don't expect to see logic in the movie, because sometimes there is no
Lindsay Loha has a good acting but her character is a little crazy (probably to be able to make the movie fun)
Some scenes have a little of "forced humor", but in the end it completes the goal of provide a fun time
If you like simple comedies, with no commitment to reality you'll like this movie.
Great to watch on a rainy afternoon in vacation like I did 😋🏝

I recently became a mother myself, and so "fondly" remember being pregnant. Although i realise that this movie is about a fake pregnancy, many of the things that happen and the reactions of the people around her are realistic and made me feel reminiscent of my pregnant days. I kind of understood why she started to get into faking it. It isn't a blockbuster movie but it does feel close to home, which ironically is what the book in the movie is trying to do too, by showing a real insight into a pregnant woman's life and how pregnancy changes you. Overall i enjoyed it and did laugh in places.
"Labor Pains" is an office comedy about a woman who pretends to be pregnant in order to prevent getting fired and she starts believing it after she continues her lying.
The movie is enjoyable enough, with Lindsay Lohan handling her character mastefully, without overacting and nailing her comedy parts. The romance in this one is subtle and does feat in with the rest of the story.
And even though the plot is predictable, it is enjoyable and entertaining enough to keep the audience satisfied till the very ending.
The rest of the cast, finally, did a great job with their performances and aided their leading lady a lot.

Many people hate Lindsay Lohan.Thats a fact of life and to a point she brought this onto herself with her lifestyle and crazy tabloids.So,she's easy prey for anyone looking for anything she does which is less than great.This movie is much,much,much better than they will make you think it is.Its an average rom-com,on the weaker side but not bad at all.I've seen dozens of worse rom-coms and even more worse movies that people will call acceptable.But they don't star Lindsay Lohan. Personally i like Lindsay as an actress and especially in this type of movie where she can walk through this material blindfolded.She just has a natural gift for this type of disneyesque rom-com.She is also a doll.I don't like her tabloids but this didn't bother me in enjoying this movie. Especially at a time when,one is bombarded with all kinds of silly monster-alien-robot movies,such innocent cute movies are a breath of fresh air.
Although it was nice to see Lindsay lohan again in a movie ( i like her very much ) :) : the story is kinda lame and the acting is pretty bad . Still a few laugh but overall I'm disappoint . it looked very good from the trailer .
download the screener or rent if you like lohan but don't buy it .
This movie wont 'bring Lindsay lohan career to the top ' i wouldn't have see a theatrical release . Straight to DVD is what it deserve IMO .
very average .. and the acting is pretty bad ( except Lindsay ) still better than Hottie or nottie or other Paris Hilton flick .
Its rate 4.1 right now ... it deserve it IMO . maybe a 5 max .
Nowhere near as good as Mean girl or Just my luck . This is not a movie you want to watch twice .
