Blistering performances.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Honestly, this film was slightly disappointing. With so many incredible actors and actresses in one film, I expected it to be brilliant and to be laughing all the way through. However, it was just a bit flat. Possibly what went wrong was too many story-lines. I understand that the writers wanted to show every different outcome of pregnancy or child-related changes, however I feel like each character didn't have much depth. I like to really get to know a character and really be involved, however it was difficult to engage with a situation as they flicked through multiple different scenarios. However, it was a nice concept and brought in many different possibilities. And of course, as always, Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Lopez looked amazing.
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.
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.
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!
