Challenges of impending parenthood turn the lives of five couples upside down. Two celebrities are unprepared for the surprise demands of pregnancy; hormones wreak havoc on a baby-crazy author, while her husband tries not to be outdone by his father, who's expecting twins with his young trophy wife; a photographer's husband isn't sure about his wife's adoption plans; a one-time hook-up results in a surprise pregnancy for rival food-truck owners.

Funny, strange, confrontational and subversive, this is one of the most interesting experiences you'll have at the cinema this year.

A pleasant chicks movie, not great or perfect, but in the girl's movie genre it is worth watching. Like I said, this is entirely downvoted by those fake people who stay away from truth and reality and think life is made of princesses, castles and fairies. These people will faint and get angry when they hear a pregnant woman saying her pregnancy got her hemorrhoids.The amount of a-list actors are not properly exploited by the movie, their roles are pretty melted with the crowd.I'm not sure about the end credits with a kid in a park getting hit by a can of beer, but I don't judge a film by it's last 2 minutes.

Another one of those ensemble movies where everyone is rich, knows someone rich, owns their own food van, fall in love, fall out, have some life changing epiphany during the film and all live happily ever after.That's the film, and it gets spoon fed to you every minute that you tolerate it.From the d-list celeb cameo at the beginning, to the bit where one of the mothers becomes slightly ill for 10 seconds, there is nothing new, exciting, and most importantly, funny about this film.All the stories treat parenthood like its a child's daubing. From the loss of a child, Kendricks character leaves the hospital in just little of over three hours and dumps her boyfriend on the street. Right.Lopez is struggling to have children, so she does a Madonna.........And the film constantly reminds you that reality TV stars and hosts are human too.The only saving grace in this is Quaid, who hasn't got any problems as he's a retired racer who is brimming with cash.I cannot think of any demographic that this film is trying to reach out to, its trying to reach out to everybody ala Richard Curtis, but fails on every level.

It's an alright film, I mean at some parts it's fairly funny, due to Rebel Wilson being in it, it was quite unpredictable also. However the whole film has no storyline at all, it wasn't interesting, they've spent so much money on having top actresses such as Anna Kendrick, Rebel Wilson, Jennifer Lopez and Cameron Diaz, but the film in all is just not good. Also I just do not understand why this film is under the 'comedy' genre? I didn't see any comedy in it? It's more like a chick flick.. It was slightly confusing how the whole film was based on about 5/6 couples who don't really seem to have any connection what-so-ever. Wouldn't recommend this film.

What a delight! As a Nana, I've seen pregnancy from a lot of different angles and I truly appreciate the way the filmmakers handled this title! Each sub-plot seemed whole in itself with a rollicking sense of fun and energy. And the babies...OY! Melt the heart! I was entranced by the young woman at the shop; the young woman in the truck, the young woman pregnant with twins. The Dudes were hilarious, with a special shout-out for Chris Rock.There was a wee bit of predictability; the moments of "humor-iliation" when bladder control and flatulence were highlighted could have been worse. They were certainly not out of place or out of context.If there is nothing else I take away from this film, I cannot forget this line: Family is everything.A new favorite, to be sure!
