Nick and Thea fall in love for each other but Thea does not stop the farce despite the advices of Lisa until the day truth appears.
"Labor Pains" is flawed, silly and predictable; but it is also delightful, charming, and cute and I liked this film. I am a fan of the talented Lindsay Lohan and for me it is very difficult to associate her image of sweet and gorgeous actress to her personal life of drug addicted, scandals and paparazzi. In the movie, Lindsay Lohan is very beautiful and her situation faking a pregnancy is funny and I really found this movie very entertaining. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "Meu Trabalho É um Parto" ("My Job Is a Labor")
