Review: Silly, Sanitized ‘What to Expect When You’re Expecting’ Is Less Painful Than Childbirth

17 May 2012 2:00 PM, PDT | FilmSchoolRejects.com | See recent FilmSchoolRejects news »

Pregnancy and childbirth are nothing new. In fact, there are few things less new than humans reproducing. It’s been done before. But Kirk Jones’ What to Expect When You’re Expecting accurately captures the inherent selfishness of expecting parents,and their individual “journeys” to the delivery room (and beyond). Unfortunately, even when gifted with a large, mostly eager cast, Jones is also saddled with a script from Shauna Cross and Heather Hach (working off of Heidi Murkoff‘s guidebook of the same name) that is deeply uninterested in providing much variety in their work. The effect is simple one – the film itself is deeply uninteresting. While What to Expect continually reminds its viewers that pregnancy and childbirth are miracles, unique and thrilling gifts, Cross and Hach have concocted one of the most bland, basic, and unadventurous scripts in recent memory. Like Garry Marshall’s rancid multi-story romantic comedies, Valentine’s Day and New Year’s Eve »

Elizabeth Banks: Pregnant with possibility

15 May 2012 8:50 PM, PDT | Cineplex | See recent Cineplex news »

Fresh off her turn as freakish media creature Effie Trinket in The Hunger Games, Elizabeth Banks is freaking out again in What to Expect When You’re Expecting — albeit in a more natural, or certainly more common, way.

"I play the owner of a baby store who has been dealing with infertility," Banks says of the ensemble comedy spun off of the venerable, non-fiction pregnancy guide by Heidi Murkoff and Sharon Mazel. "I finally get pregnant and I think it’s going to be a miraculous miracle, an amazing situation — and, of course, I get the exact opposite of that. Then it's all about how I deal with it."

Ravaged by mood swings and other hormonal side effects, Banks' Wendy Cooper sees all of her idealized theories about impending parenthood shattered and her marriage to Gary (Ben Falcone) imperiled by the blessed event. It's one of five interconnected storylines in »

More from the Dudes Group in New Clip from What To Expect When You’re Expecting

14 May 2012 10:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

Kirk Jones (Nanny McPhee) returns behind the camera with an impressive ensemble cast in What to Expect when You’re Expecting, loosely based on the original bestselling pregnancy manual (‘loosely’ in that the manual is not a novel, it’s a manual).

A week ahead of its Us release, and two ahead of its UK, a new clip has debuted courtesy of Yahoo Movies in which we get a little more from the fathers of the film, self-proclaimed as the Dudes Group, continuing the push to appeal not just to the all-out female audience you might expect (no pun intended).

“Over the moon about starting a family, TV fitness guru Jules and dance show star Evan find that their high-octane celebrity lives don’t stand a chance against the surprise demands of pregnancy. Baby-crazy author and advocate Wendy gets a taste of her own militant mommy advice when pregnancy hormones »

Tmp's Summer 2012 Movie Guide: May

30 April 2012 12:42 PM, PDT | The Movie Pool | See recent The Movie Pool news »

Honestly, if I was forced to judge Summer 2012 at first glance, I would say it was pretty weak.  Compared to 2011 and 2010, there's just not as many movies to look forward to.  While it seems easy to write off this Summer as a dud, I have three reasons why it might actually be awesome; The Dark Knight Rises, The Avengers, and Prometheus.  Honestly, that's all Summer 2012 needs in order to be one for the history books.  Even then, there's still more than enough films to warrant your attention this summer.  To help you sort through them all, we've once again compiled all the most interesting films of the season into four easy to read, informative guides.  For the next four days, we'll take you on a journey through the best cinema has to offer in Summer 2012.  Welcome to our Summer 2012 Movie Guide!  Here's Part One, focusing entirely on the month of May. »

15 Young Adult Fiction Properties That Could Be The Next 'Twilight' Or 'Hunger Games'

23 March 2012 8:56 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

Today sees the release of "The Hunger Games," the much anticipated adaptation of the popular young adult novel series about a future in which children are forced to compete in a fight to the death for the entertainment of the upper class, and to help their district fight off starvation. The books have been bestsellers, and Lionsgate have pegged the film to be their own answer to another hugely popular teen-skewing franchise, the vampire romance "Twilight." And it looks as if the gamble has paid off, with most prognosticators pegging the film to open well over $100 million in the U.S. this weekend.

But all things come to an end, and while "The Hunger Games" is only just hitting theaters, sequel "Catching Fire" is already set for release in November 2013, with final "Mockingjay" presumably following another eighteen months or so after that. And when you figure in that "Harry Potter »

New Trailer for What To Expect When you're Expecting with Chris Rock and Dennis Quaid

7 March 2012 7:30 PM, PST | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »

Here's a new trailer for the comedy What to Expect When You're Expecting. I normally wouldn't post a trailer to a movie like this, but this new trailer for the film focuses on the dads in the movie, played by Chris RockThomas LennonBen FalconeRob Huebel, and Dennis Quaid.

Being a dad myself, I can relate to the insanity of having children, and I will tell you... nothing can prepare you for it. If you are having a kid or thinking of having one I wish you the best of luck. The film looks silly as hell, but if you're a parent then there's sure to be a few laughs because you can relate. 

The movie was directed by Kirk Jones from a script written by Shauna Cross and Heather Hach. It stars Cameron DiazJennifer LopezAnna KendrickElizabeth BanksBrooklyn DeckerJoe ManganielloMatthew MorrisonChace Crawford, »
