Yes, I’m afraid the title is a mouthful and a painfully obvious pun but I just couldn’t resist.
After all, a movie creates expectations in each of us- and just like the book the movie is based on gives us some ideas about what to expect when we are expecting (babies).
Movies with big casts featuring lots of familiar names scare me. It is usually more bad news than good. There a lot of movies with great casts and lousy scripts and tedious results. Look at Dr. T and the Women Or Gary Marshall’s Valentine’s Day. Just because you got lots of names, it doesn’t give you the right to shoot a story that has no entertainment value – mindless or otherwise.
But sometimes, with a good story and a famous cast- you can come out of it with great results, such as He’s Just Not That Into You, Hairspray or Stardust.
Plot and Cast
What to Expect When You’re Expecting will apparently tell the tales of many mother and father-to-bes
As well as the parents who are doing their best to cope. The cast has Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Lopez, Dennis Quaid, Matthew Morrison, Elizabeth Banks, Jessica Kendrick, Megan Mullally (Will and Grace’s Karen), Chase Crawford (Gossip Girl’s Nate) and Chris Rock.
The trailer looks entertaining, but only time (and the movie itself) will show which category this movie will belong to. But I really like the gang of dads who boast of their kids’ “accidents.”
