Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

ChampDavSlim The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

srdjan_veljkovic It's not a real movie, more of a bunch of related sketches. But they tie them in just enough to not make this be an overly long episode of "Saturday Night Live".Most segments are OK. A few are dull/uninteresting, and a few are _great_. The best is the first segment with Dennis Quaid. He's great, but others are following along quite nicely. It alone is worth watching the whole movie for.There's nothing much new or profound to learn her, it basically just shows that each pregnancy can go in any of the possible ways without any particular reason. That part is interesting only to the young women in their first pregnancy. But, that's just the framing. The jokes are not really geared that way, but, are general momma-papa-baby jokes.Though I do find the "Dude pack" to be a little weird and obnoxious at times, they do come up with most of the good jokes outside the Dennis Quaid segment.Cameron Diaz is superbly cast and looks the part, but, doesn't perform it well. Anna Kendrick ditto. The rest of the gals are OK, but none are great. Guys have less light on them (hey, it's a pregnancy movie, so...), but Dennis Quaid is great, Chris Rock got his part good (he misses way to often, but didn't this time) and the rest are OK, with an interesting cameo by Joe Manganiello (most of all, the pull-up scene).What's interesting is that you don't see a lot of missed opportunities. About the only serious missed opportunity is near the end in the hospital, though the movie tries to be a little serious at that time, so it kind of makes sense to not overdo the comedy at that time.So, just to let you know what to _expect_: nothing profound, but quite a few good jokes and one great segment. Much, much, more than most modern comedies.

Lola A The movie tries to capture the different experiences that couples go through as they are expecting a child. However, I found that none of the experiences was deep enough, it was only represented in a shallow manner. Especially the couple that looses the child. There is a lot more emotion with that then the movie shows. I just felt that because the movie tried to show so many couples non of them was deep enough that the audience could relate or sympathise or even feel with them. The real-life link: I am not sure how a pregnancy is experienced so I might not be able to say if the experience was captured appropriately. But I assume that physical pain (Elizabeth Banks) and fear (Jennifer Lopez) are part of it and I think these two cases showed it pretty well. Even the woman that seems that has a magical pregnancy (Brooklyn Decker) could be found in real life. These three cases were armful. What was not so armful and seemed as totally unnecessary was Cameron Diaz scenario. I did not get what kind of pregnancy she was supposed to represent. While Anna Kendrick's role also showed a different kind of experience I think it was just not rightfully shown. Character analysis: Jules. She came across as the controlling, vain celebrity that had to always get with her way and did not care about the opinion of her partner at all. Evan instead of standing up for himself goes to her and does exactly what she says and even asks to marry him. I just think this is realistic. While of course there are men that would do the same, the long term prospects of that relationship would not be so good. And who knows if there was a second part than maybe this couple would be separated. Marco and Rosie. Rosie pushes Marco away. Marco tries to make it happen despite it but he does not try hard enough. (hello those who say when a guy wants you he will make it happen). In the end they get together due to meeting in the hospital (now hello fate). While this is a movie and does not prove that it is exactly what happens in relationships, I find it quite realistic. The movie also does a great job in linking the characters with one another without them being all connected. Not too much but just enough. However, the movie is quite slow, the story line is predictable and is not so interesting.

MissLovelyMonet . I was going to finish watching it, but I just cannot deal with Jennifer Lopez and her horrible acting... I'm sorry, I just cannot. I wanted to see the movie because I read the book quite some time ago myself (No, I am not an expecting mother, nor was I then, and I do not plan on going through such life altering developments...just yet : ]. I simply have an interest in the miracle that is child birth, and I like to remain educated on the topic), and I absolutely loved it! And so when I saw they were making a film around the novel, I was interested, as you can imagine. All to be disappointed upon finding out that they would cast such an...odd assortment of characters for a film like this, starting with their choice to include such a talentless person like Jennifer. Now, don't get me wrong, she had her time in the 90's and early 2000's, when art was at it's most raw form, but she's older now and should be moving on to other things, and many do agree with me. She's not a great singer, in my opinion, and I love all kinds of music. Her acting is a bit stiff to me, and when she tries to branch out you can see the strain. And that's what I get from this film. Strain. *sigh* Well, better luck next time, Kirk. I'm sure you'll learn your lesson. A pretty face is not always best choice.

FlashCallahan 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.
